OUR EXPERIENCE IN CRIMINAL LAW INCLUDES:

The defendant was charged with these offences during a 12 month good behaviour bond pursuant to section 10(1)(b) of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 (NSW) for a previous offence.

We appeared at sentencing and successfully obtained orders that no action be taken with respect to the breach of the existing good behaviour bond, and that the defendant enter into another good behaviour bond for a term of 12 months pursuant to section 10(1)(b) of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 (NSW).
