Case studies

Real case study outcomes from Lawyers of Preston — criminal charges withdrawn, drink driving licences saved, family law settlements, immigration victories across Melbourne.

✓ Charges Withdrawn ⚖️ Criminal Law Assault charges withdrawn after early intervention — Broadmeadows Broadmeadows Resolved in 6 weeks

Our client was charged with common assault following a dispute with a neighbour. Police had CCTV footage and witness statements. We engaged early with the prosecution, provided compelling evidence of provocation and the client's otherwise clean record, and negotiated a complete withdrawal of charges before the matter proceeded to hearing.

✓ Outcome All charges withdrawn. No conviction recorded. No criminal record. JS Matter handled by Jasmin S ✓ Licence Saved 🚗 Drink Driving High-range PCA — licence saved, no conviction — Werribee Werribee First offence

Client was intercepted at a RBT and returned a BAC of 0.19 — classified high range. As a tradie who drives for work, losing his licence would have cost him his job. We enrolled him in the Traffic Offenders Program, obtained character references, and prepared a detailed plea in mitigation. The Magistrate was persuaded not to record a conviction.

✓ Outcome Diversion — no conviction. Interlock fitted. Licence retained for work purposes. AS Matter handled by Andrew Sandhu ✓ Settled Favourably 👨‍👩‍👧 Family Law Property settlement — $480K asset pool divided — Sunshine Sunshine Resolved without court

Following separation after an 11-year marriage, our client (primary carer of three children) was at risk of receiving a significantly below-entitlement offer from her former spouse's legal team. We identified our client's substantial non-financial contributions to the home and family, and negotiated a settlement at mediation that reflected her true entitlements.

✓ Outcome Client received 62% of the asset pool — significantly above initial offer. Resolved at mediation, avoiding costly court proceedings. JS Matter handled by Jasmin S ✓ Visa Saved 🌏 Immigration Law Visa cancellation notice — criminal conviction — Craigieburn Craigieburn AAT Appeal

Our client, a permanent resident for 12 years with a family in Australia, received a Notice of Intention to Cancel his visa following a criminal conviction. We prepared a detailed submission to the Department addressing the character test, including extensive evidence of community ties, rehabilitation, family impact and hardship. The cancellation was set aside.

✓ Outcome Visa cancellation set aside. Client retains permanent residency and remains in Australia with family. AS Matter handled by Andrew Sandhu ✓ No Jail Term ⚖️ Criminal Law Driving while disqualified — community corrections order instead of imprisonment — Broadmeadows Broadmeadows Serious offence

Our client was charged with driving while disqualified for the second time — an offence that almost always results in imprisonment. We obtained psychological reports, character references from employers and community leaders, and presented detailed submissions about the client's personal circumstances and the likely devastating impact of imprisonment on their family.

✓ Outcome Community Corrections Order — no imprisonment. Client kept job and remained with family. JS Matter handled by Jasmin S ✓ Order Granted 🛡️ Family Violence Urgent FVIO obtained same-day — Reservoir Reservoir Same-day result

Our client called us in the morning in a distressed state following a violent incident at home. We attended court with her the same afternoon, prepared and filed the application urgently, and presented her evidence to the Magistrate. An interim Family Violence Intervention Order was granted that afternoon, excluding the respondent from the home.

✓ Outcome Interim FVIO granted same day. Client safe. Final order subsequently made by consent. AS Matter handled by Andrew Sandhu
