Case Overview

Charge: Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm

Client: Anonymous male client

Court Location: Newcastle Local Court

We also represented a client before the Newcastle Local Court charged with Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm following a serious “glassing” incident.

At face value, the allegations exposed the client to a real risk of conviction and significant penalty.

Our Strategy

Through careful negotiation with the prosecution, we were able to:

  • Significantly amend and soften the agreed facts
  • Ensure the matter was presented to the Court in a way that accurately reflected the surrounding circumstances

The Outcome

Although the offence was technically proven, the Court imposed:

  • No conviction, and
  • No further penalty

An excellent result given the seriousness of glassing-related offences and the penalties that ordinarily follow.

At EAS Legal we specialise in defending clients facing serious criminal charges across Australia including drink driving, assault, sexual offence allegations, domestic violence matters, and complex criminal proceedings.

We pride ourselves on strategic advocacy, thorough preparation, and achieving results that protect our clients’ freedom, reputation, and future.
