ABOUT US

What Clients Say:

To be honest, within the confines of what had to be done, it is difficult to find a single fault in the service I received - it was truly exceptional.

- Client

I just wanted to say thank you so, so much for today. No words can express how grateful and appreciative I am of the help and advice of John and Sarah.

- Client

I'm grateful for the advice, your calm and realistic manner made what was an uncomfortable experience bearable and the outcome far better than I had hoped.

This section of our website contains helpful information about what the court takes into account when deciding what penalty should be imposed, the types of penalties that can be imposed and how completing the MERIT program will assist the sentence that is likely to be imposed.

The sentencing principles that are applied in the courts in NSW are numerous and very few lawyers are aware of all of the principles that apply. We have included some of the more common sentencing principles that may be of assistance to you to see how a court arrives at the penalty they impose.
