Without getting a lawyer, he appeared on his own at the Waverley Local Court when he entered a plea of guilty to the Magistrate to the charge. As a result, he was convicted (criminal record against his name) with a 2 year Conditional Release Order upon sentence. Consequently, our client was effectively barred from working as a taxi driver, which was his sole form of income for the last 20 years. This would have dire consequences for our client, being the primary income earner for his family and children.
Our client contacted CDLA when our senior lawyer, Bashir El Kheir of our office provide him with immediate advice before commencing work on appealing the Magistrates decision to convict our client.
With a lot to lose, our client wanted the very best possible shot at avoiding a criminal record, especially in circumstances his and his family’s livelihood dependent upon it.
Our Bashir commenced preparation for the appeal in the District Court. Bashir meticulously prepared the appeal case, which included collecting strong evidence such as a carefully picked expert psychologist report amongst other documents to strengthen our client’s subjective case. Further, our Bashir carefully prepared articulate and persuasive written submissions to assist the District Court Judge in granting the order as sought.
