25.01.2022 A large part of our job as defence lawyers is to achieve the best possible outcome via negotiated plea deals for clients. As reported in the Herald Sun, Emma Turnbull has conduct of the defence for Mr Harvey who is charged and willing to plead guilty to culpable driving causing death. After the prosecution's initial unwillingness to limit the peripheral charges, Emma agitated those difficulties in open court. This achieved a deal being reached that was more favourable for the client. He will be sentenced later this year. https://www.heraldsun.com.au//4dd1bca76aea230ad05530e9887c

25.01.2022 Experience makes the difference.... Back in 2013, Emma represented a client De Jun "Kevin" Zheng who was charged with murder. In one of the first cases to progress to the Court of Appeal on an interlocutory appeal, Kevin was ultimately found not guilty and was released from custody. The firm has always maintained a strong practice in jury trials. We know the process, the practice and can assist you to best navigate your way through the Court system. ... https://www.theage.com.au//brothel-worker-cleared-over-kil

19.01.2022 For many of our clients, the Courts response to the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in their cases being adjourned for many months, leaving them on bail and with the uncertainty of the pending proceedings hanging over their head.

All of our lawyers have become experienced appearing in the ...County Court via this virtual platform. Your case may be one that could be brought forward for earlier hearing in the virtual courtroom.
