A court is not allowed to sentence you to full-time jail UNLESS it’s first satisfied that after considering all alternative options to jail, that no penalty other than jail is appropriate.

The law requires a Judge or Magistrate to only use imprisonment as a sentence of last resort.

There are options other than a jail sentence that a court can impose. We can talk to you about how to maximise your chances at avoiding jail.

Preparing your court sentence with a strong good character letter and apology letter can significantly improve your chances of convincing the Judge or Magistrate to impose a lenient sentence.

As a result of using well written letter that address the important legal points can significantly increase your chances of avoiding a criminal record, and in more serious cases, avoid full-time imprisonment for serious offences.

Our lawyers can discuss this with you, as well as guide you through it.
