No Criminal Record: A Strategic Plea by Brightstone Defence

At Brightstone Defence, we understand the complexities and challenges of criminal cases, especially those involving personal emotional distress and relationship pressures. Our team works diligently to ensure that each case is approached with care, offering the best chance for a positive outcome. This was clearly demonstrated in a recent case where we successfully secured a special ruling of no criminal record for our client.

Case Overview

Our client, Mr. Wang, became embroiled in a highly emotional incident when he discovered that his mistress was also his employee. In a moment of heightened emotion, he assaulted her in a public setting, resulting in bruising. Given the serious nature of domestic violence cases in Australia, the legal repercussions were severe.

Legal Strategy and Emotional Support

Recognising the mitigating factors surrounding our client’s emotional state, Brightstone Defence took a comprehensive approach. We arranged for Mr. Wang to undergo anger management and psychological counselling to address the underlying emotional distress that contributed to the incident.

Our legal team presented written documentation to the court, explaining the emotional and psychological pressures Mr. Wang was under at the time of the assault. We also demonstrated his efforts to rectify the situation, including taking responsibility for his actions and working toward personal improvement.

A Reasoned Plea and a Positive Outcome

Through the persuasive and reasoned plea of Lawyer Cao, we made a compelling case for a special ruling of no criminal record. We emphasised Mr. Wang’s remorse, his commitment to self-improvement, and the unique circumstances surrounding the incident. The judge ultimately agreed with our approach and granted a special ruling, allowing Mr. Wang to avoid a criminal record despite the gravity of the offence.
