Any court litigation is fraught with uncertainty but whilst we have our successes there are some cases which are so strong that consideration of a guilty plea has to be undertaken. Remember, any lawyer who tells you he has won all of his cases is either vastly inexperienced or a stranger to the truth!
We can advise you as to the likely outcome and the best way to limit any sentence to be imposed. Also, the Courts are now BOUND to give a discount on the sentence based on an early plea which clearly saves time and money.
Whilst one can never guarantee the outcome of any case, only serious offences or repeated offending tends to result in jail sentences. Otherwise, there is a raft of sentencing options which Judges are REQUIRED to consider as alternatives (Community Service / Probation / Good Behaviour deferral / Drug treatment options etc) and we will steer a course to assist you as best we can.
