Our 47-year-old male client appeared before the Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court facing a number of violence-related and criminal damage charges arising from offending directed towards his employer. From the outset, we identified that the work undertaken before the final Court date would be critical. Over several months, our Criminal Law team worked closely with the client on a carefully considered strategy designed to place him in the strongest possible position to seek diversion. This involved targeted preparation, addressing the circumstances surrounding the offending and ensuring the Court had a clear picture of the client and the steps taken since the incident. That preparation ultimately paid off, with the Court agreeing to place our client on a Diversion Plan. Upon successful completion, the charges are dismissed without a finding of guilt or criminal conviction. An excellent result that demonstrates an important point: the work done in the months before walking into Court can be just as important as what is said once you get there.
