All Assault Charges and AVO dismissed in Court - Police then Withdraw Contravene AVO case
Through effective cross-examination, Sydney Criminal Lawyers had all assault charges and the AVO dismissed in Newtown Local Court for our 23 year old Earlwood client.

Police realised that the complainant would be discredited in any future proceedings, and then withdrew an additional case of Contravene AVO that they brought against our client.

That case had been expected to proceed to a defended hearing.

Best Defence in Local Court Assault and AVO Hearings
Over the past two-weeks, Sydney Criminal Lawyers won all 7 of its Assault and AVO cases in various Local Courts.

Some cases involved charges of Assault Police, Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm and Stalk / Intimidate.

They were successfully defended by our team in Downing Centre Court, Burwood Court, Parramatta Court and Waverley Court.

Suspended Sentence for Ongoing Drug Supply and Participate in Criminal Group
Sydney Criminal Lawyers obtained 'Suspended Sentences' (no prison) in Downing Centre District Court for our 22 year old client for 'Supply Drug on Ongoing Basis', 11 charges of 'Supply Prohibited Drug' and 'Participate in Criminal Group'.

The case involved the supply of approximately 60 ounces of heroin and cocaine over several months.

Our Ugur Nedim persuasively presented the case before the District Court Judge who ultimately found exceptional circumstances in our client's favour and refrained from sending him to prison.

All involved had expected a lengthy prison sentence.

It is an incredible result considering that our client has several previous criminal convictions, and the official sentencing statistics for similar offenders say that 100% were sent to prison.

Jury finds man 'not guilty' of Sexual Assault
A jury in Parramatta District Court unanimously found our 38 year old client 'not guilty' of all 3 counts of 'sexual intercourse without consent'.

The case involved our client and the female complainant meeting in a Sydney Cabaret Bar and sharing drinks.

The complainant then invited our client back to her sister's apartment.

The pair were engaging in sexual intercourse on the balcony, when the sister came out of her bedroom and said 'What are you doing? You have a boyfriend'.

The complainant then claimed she was being sexually assaulted.

It is unfortunate that police and the over-zealous DPP insisted on the case going all the way to a jury trial.

Not Guilty of Resisting Police - Magistrate Criticises Heavy-Handed Officers
The Magistrate in Downing Centre Local Court dismissed the case against our 30 year old client who was charged with 'resisting officer in execution of duty'.

Police arrested our client in Woolloomoolloo when they suspected him of possessing drugs.

Our client 'violently resisted' and was thrown to the footpath head-first, sustaining bruising to the face.

He was held face-down by police 'for at least 2 minutes'.

The Magistrate found our client 'not guilty' and criticised police for acting 'recklessly and outside their powers'.
