A male client engaged EAS Legal after being charged with a serious assault offence arising from an altercation that resulted in injuries to the complainant.
Our client ultimately entered a plea of guilty, meaning the focus shifted to achieving the best possible sentencing outcome. We undertook detailed preparation and presented strong submissions addressing the circumstances of the offending, our client’s background, remorse, rehabilitation and the significant consequences that a conviction would have on his future.
Despite the seriousness of the assault allegations, the Court was persuaded to deal with the matter by way of a non-conviction outcome.
An excellent result for our client that demonstrates the importance of comprehensive preparation and ensuring the Court is presented with the complete picture before sentence.
