Drink Driving Charge Dismissed
Middle range pca charge was dropped against a 43 year old man after police breath tested him on his own property.

The man was illegally breath tested after pulling into his driveway, stopping his engine and exiting.

The case is a reminder to police that they must follow breath-testing laws, including the law that they cannot test persons on their own land.

Another rule is the '2 hour rule', which says that a driver's breath must be 'analysed' within 2 hours of driving.

Charges Dismissed in 'Skye's Law' Case
All charges were dismissed against a 40 year old motorbike rider charged with 'police pursuit' when the Magistrate found that he did not know, and 'could not reasonably have known' that police were pursuing him.

Not Guilty of Dangerous Driving Occasioning Death
A 26 year old Belrose man was found 'not guilty' of all driving charges in Downing Centre Court, after the prosecution could not disprove that his loss of control and collision might have been caused by mechanical failure.

No Conviction for High Range PCA
In Downing Centre District Court, a 46 year old Mascot woman was dealt with without disqualification, fine or conviction despite having a blood alcohol reading of 0.165

No Conviction for Speeding by over 45 kp/h
In Downing Centre Court, a 52 year old truck driver was given a 'section 10' (no licence suspension, no fine and no conviction) after pleading guilty to driving at a speed of 162 kp/h in a 110kp/h zone.
His licence is crucial for him to work and provide for his family.

Not Guilty of Negligent Driving
A 42 year old bus driver was found 'not guilty' of 'negligent driving' after his bus collided with a pedestrian who carelessly crossed a busy bondi intersection

Section 10 for 2nd PCA within 5 years
After persuading police to reduce a charge of high range pca to low range pca, Sydney Criminal Lawyers succeeded in obtaining a 'Section 10' (ie no conviction, no disqualification and no fine) for a 32 year old Parramatta man despite it being his 2nd drink driving offence within 5 years.

Section 10 for High Range PCA
In Waverley Local Court, Sydney Criminal Lawyers obtained a 'section 10' (no conviction or disqualification) for a 28 year old man who pleaded guilty to driving with ‘high range p.c.a' (his blood alcohol reading was 0.218)

Section 10 for Third 'Drink Driving' Charge
In Parramatta District Court, a 38 year old man who pleaded guilty to a 3rd drink driving charge was dealt with under ‘Section 10’ (i.e. without conviction, fine or disqualification).

The case was initially in Blacktown Local Court where the Presiding Magistrate had imposed a conviction, 12 months disqualification, an $800 fine and $76 court costs.

Sydney Criminal Lawyers successfully appealed that decision and the defendant, who needs his licence for employment, can retain his job and continue to support his wife and two young children.

The team at Sydney Criminal Lawyers provided an outstanding and extremely professional service. Mr Nedim accurately explained all aspects of my matters and kept me promptly informed and properly focused from the start to end of the process. All of the charges were dismissed in court.

Mr Nedim then submitted an application for costs and costs were awarded to me. My previous lawyers told me that it would be almost impossible to get costs awarded.

I would be happy to recommend Sydney Criminal Lawyers for anyone seeking exceptional professional legal assistance.

Mr Nedim has my consent to contact me if you require confirmation on any of the above. - Neil S (published by client on google places)

I am eternally grateful for the dedication and persistence of the superb team at Sydney Criminal Lawyers.

I expected a lengthy prison sentence for my fraud offences. Every other lawyer told me it wasn't about whether I would go to prison, but for how many years. Sydney Criminal Lawyers fought for me every step of the way. They reduced the number and severity of charges, guided me through what I had to do and did everything they promised to do, and more.

They fought for me until the very end and it was their skill, confidence and persistence that kept me out of prison. I will never forget your efforts. - Paul A (published by client on google places)

Hi Ugur, I just wanted to say I couldn't be happier with the service I received. I was kept up to date, knew exactly what was going on and through out the whole process and in the end received a very favourable verdict. Thank you again! - Nima (published by client on Google Places)

I would simply like to express my thanks & appreciation for all your advice & expertise with regards to my recent drink driving charge, which without I would not have obtained the outstanding result that I did. - M. Stein.

Dear Nedim, I wish I hadnt waited nearly 6 months before seeing you. I truly thought all criminal lawyers were the same. Thank you for advising me that you could fight for the withdrawal of my charges. I remember how surprised you were that my other lawyer said I didnt have a chance and that I would get a long prison sentence. Thank you for fighting and having the charges withdrawn. I'm free to move ahead with my life. God bless you. - Joan T.

I can highly recommend you & your services to anyone that is faced with a similar situation as I am sure that your open & honest approach, & quick thinking when required, can only prove to be of benefit to anyone faced with similar circumstances & that you will obtain the best possible result. Once again, I sincerely thank you for your help as I can now get on with my life & leave this experience behind me. - R.S, Templestowe, VIC
