Case Overview

Werribee Magistrates Court 

Charge: Property Damage Charges

Client: 21-year-old client

Our 21-year-old client recently appeared before the Werribee Magistrates’ Court facing serious property damage charges. Given the nature of the allegations, she was understandably concerned about the long-term consequences of a criminal record particularly how it could impact her career and future employment.

After being engaged, we took immediate steps to:

  • Carefully analyse the brief of evidence,
  • Engage in meaningful negotiations with the Prosecution, and
  • Advocate for a resolution that reflected our client’s youth, remorse, and lack of prior offending.

Through effective negotiations, we succeeded in having the most serious charges reduced to a lesser charge. This critical step paved the way for our client to be found eligible for the Diversion program a rare and positive outcome in cases involving property damage.

Thanks to the Diversion:

Our client avoided a criminal record No finding of guilt was recorded She can now move forward without the burden of a conviction impacting her job prospects

This outcome was not just a legal win it was a life-changing result for a young woman with ambition and a bright future.
