Our <\/span>client <\/span>was <\/span>a <\/span>42-<\/span>year-<\/span>old <\/span>project <\/span>manager<\/span><\/strong> working <\/span>for <\/span>a <\/span>large <\/span>technology <\/span>consulting <\/span>firm. <\/span>He <\/span>had <\/span>been <\/span>married <\/span>to <\/span>his <\/span>partner <\/span>for <\/span>nearly <\/span>twelve <\/span>years<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>and <\/span>together <\/span>they <\/span>were <\/span>raising <\/span>their <\/span>young <\/span>daughter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Approximately <\/span>eight <\/span>years <\/span>earlier<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>our <\/span>client <\/span>had <\/span>been <\/span>charged <\/span>with <\/span>a <\/span>minor <\/span>domestic <\/span>violence <\/span>related <\/span>offence <\/span>which <\/span>was <\/span>finalised <\/span>by <\/span>way <\/span>of <\/span>a <\/span>Section <\/span>10 <\/span>dismissal<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>meaning <\/span>no <\/span>conviction <\/span>was <\/span>recorded. <\/span>A <\/span>few <\/span>years <\/span>later <\/span>he <\/span>was <\/span>also <\/span>dealt <\/span>with <\/span>for <\/span>a <\/span>negligent <\/span>driving <\/span>matter<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>which <\/span>was <\/span>similarly <\/span>dismissed <\/span>under <\/span>Section <\/span>10.<\/span><\/p>\n

He <\/span>approached <\/span>Krayem & <\/span>Co <\/span>Lawyers<\/span><\/strong> after <\/span>being <\/span>charged <\/span>with <\/span>Common <\/span>Assault (<\/span>Domestic <\/span>Violence <\/span>related)<\/span><\/strong> following <\/span>an <\/span>incident <\/span>at <\/span>the <\/span>family <\/span>home.<\/span><\/p>\n

In <\/span>the <\/span>months <\/span>leading <\/span>up <\/span>to <\/span>the <\/span>incident, <\/span>the <\/span>couple <\/span>had <\/span>been <\/span>experiencing <\/span>significant <\/span>stress <\/span>due <\/span>to <\/span>financial <\/span>pressures <\/span>and <\/span>extended <\/span>working <\/span>hours. <\/span>During <\/span>one <\/span>evening, <\/span>an <\/span>argument <\/span>escalated <\/span>and <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>heat <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>moment <\/span>our <\/span>client <\/span>pushed <\/span>his <\/span>partner <\/span>while <\/span>attempting <\/span>to <\/span>leave <\/span>the <\/span>room. <\/span>Police <\/span>were <\/span>called <\/span>shortly <\/span>afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

When <\/span>police <\/span>attended <\/span>the <\/span>home, <\/span>our <\/span>client <\/span>cooperated <\/span>fully <\/span>with <\/span>officers <\/span>and <\/span>made <\/span>certain <\/span>admissions <\/span>during <\/span>the <\/span>interview. <\/span>He <\/span>was <\/span>subsequently <\/span>charged <\/span>with <\/span>Common <\/span>Assault (<\/span>DV)<\/span><\/strong> and <\/span>served <\/span>with <\/span>an <\/span>Apprehended <\/span>Domestic <\/span>Violence <\/span>Order (<\/span>AVO)<\/span><\/strong> for <\/span>the <\/span>protection <\/span>of <\/span>his <\/span>partner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shortly <\/span>after <\/span>the <\/span>incident, <\/span>his <\/span>partner <\/span>expressed <\/span>that <\/span>she <\/span>did <\/span>not <\/span>wish <\/span>to <\/span>proceed <\/span>with <\/span>the <\/span>charges <\/span>and <\/span>requested <\/span>that <\/span>police <\/span>withdraw <\/span>the <\/span>AVO. <\/span>However, <\/span>due <\/span>to <\/span>the <\/span>admissions <\/span>made <\/span>at <\/span>the <\/span>scene, <\/span>police <\/span>declined <\/span>to <\/span>withdraw <\/span>the <\/span>matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our <\/span>client <\/span>had <\/span>previously <\/span>consulted <\/span>with <\/span>other <\/span>lawyers <\/span>who <\/span>advised <\/span>that, <\/span>given <\/span>his <\/span>prior <\/span>record, <\/span>it <\/span>would <\/span>be <\/span>very <\/span>difficult <\/span>to <\/span>avoid <\/span>a <\/span>conviction. <\/span>After <\/span>carefully <\/span>reviewing <\/span>the <\/span>case, <\/span>Krayem & <\/span>Co <\/span>Lawyers<\/span><\/strong> adopted <\/span>a <\/span>different <\/span>strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

We <\/span>immediately <\/span>arranged <\/span>for <\/span>our <\/span>client <\/span>to <\/span>undergo <\/span>assessment <\/span>with <\/span>a <\/span>forensic <\/span>psychologist<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>who <\/span>diagnosed <\/span>him <\/span>with <\/span>severe <\/span>anxiety <\/span>and <\/span>impulse <\/span>control <\/span>difficulties<\/span><\/strong> which <\/span>had <\/span>significantly <\/span>contributed <\/span>to <\/span>his <\/span>behaviour <\/span>during <\/span>stressful <\/span>situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our <\/span>legal <\/span>team <\/span>also <\/span>gathered <\/span>strong <\/span>character <\/span>references<\/span><\/strong> from <\/span>his <\/span>employer <\/span>and <\/span>colleagues, <\/span>highlighting <\/span>his <\/span>professionalism, <\/span>leadership <\/span>qualities, <\/span>and <\/span>the <\/span>importance <\/span>of <\/span>maintaining <\/span>a <\/span>conviction-<\/span>free <\/span>record<\/span><\/strong> to <\/span>continue <\/span>working <\/span>in <\/span>his <\/span>senior <\/span>role.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>matter <\/span>proceeded <\/span>before <\/span>Blacktown <\/span>Local <\/span>Court<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>where <\/span>our <\/span>lawyers <\/span>made <\/span>detailed <\/span>submissions <\/span>seeking <\/span>a <\/span>Section <\/span>14 <\/span>Mental <\/span>Health <\/span>Application<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite <\/span>the <\/span>prosecution <\/span>raising <\/span>concerns <\/span>about <\/span>his <\/span>prior <\/span>history, <\/span>the <\/span>Court <\/span>accepted <\/span>that <\/span>our <\/span>client <\/span>was <\/span>now <\/span>engaged <\/span>in <\/span>ongoing <\/span>psychological <\/span>treatment <\/span>and <\/span>that <\/span>diversion <\/span>under <\/span>the <\/span>mental <\/span>health <\/span>provisions <\/span>was <\/span>appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Court <\/span>ultimately <\/span>granted <\/span>the <\/span>Section <\/span>14 <\/span>order<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>meaning <\/span>the <\/span>charge <\/span>was <\/span>dismissed <\/span>on <\/span>the <\/span>condition <\/span>that <\/span>he <\/span>continue <\/span>treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

As <\/span>a <\/span>result, <\/span>our <\/span>client <\/span>avoided <\/span>a <\/span>criminal <\/span>conviction<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>allowing <\/span>him <\/span>to <\/span>keep <\/span>his <\/span>career <\/span>and <\/span>continue <\/span>supporting <\/span>his <\/span>family. <\/span>Both <\/span>he <\/span>and <\/span>his <\/span>partner <\/span>were <\/span>extremely <\/span>relieved <\/span>and <\/span>grateful <\/span>for <\/span>the <\/span>outcome <\/span>achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
