Our client was charged with driving while suspended and appeared before a judicial officer known for taking a firm approach to traffic offending. The matter was made more difficult by the client’s extensive traffic history.

Through detailed preparation and extensive sentencing submissions, our office was able to present the client’s circumstances in a clear and persuasive way. The judicial officer referred to the submissions made on the client’s behalf as earnest and carefully considered the material placed before the Court.

Despite the client’s prior traffic record, we were able to secure a Conditional Release Order without conviction.

This was a very favourable outcome in the circumstances and highlights the importance of thorough preparation, strong sentencing submissions and presenting the client’s personal circumstances effectively before the Court.
