Successful Outcome: Jail Avoided for Small Business Owner

A 45-year-old Inner West business owner and family man faced charges for Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm in aggravation, with prior violent offending on his record, jail initially seemed likely.

Our client immediately contacted Rep-Revive Criminal Defence Lawyers, and after a free initial consultation, instructed Principal Solicitor Daniel Wilson to prepare for a sentencing hearing.

Our team left no stone unturned, working one-on-one with our client to establish key mitigating factors: childhood deprivation and its lasting impact, mental health concerns backed by expert reports, and significant gaps in offending that highlighted strong rehabilitation potential.

On the day of sentencing, police prosecutors pushed hard for a custodial sentence, emphasising the seriousness of the allegations. However, Daniel Wilson used his courtroom experience and significant preparation to argue for the most minimal sentence.

Successful Result: The magistrate delivered a non-custodial sentence: a community corrections order (that he commit no further offences for 12 months) and a small fine.

Our client walked away without a single day in jail; preserving his business, family life, and reputation.
