Not-Guilty Verdict Secured Secured a unanimous not-guilty verdict in the ACT Supreme Court after a second jury trial. The client, previously represented in a hung jury trial, sought Cheryl’s expertise for a fresh approach and was ultimately acquitted of all charges.
Tragic Case Resolved with Compassion Acted for a grieving husband charged over a fatal accident involving his late wife. Through careful and empathetic negotiations with the DPP, Cheryl resolved the matter in the Local Court with a non-custodial good behaviour bond, avoiding a District Court trial and potential imprisonment.
Non-Custodial Outcomes Achieved Represented first-time young offenders in serious drug cases and obtained non-custodial sentences by highlighting rehabilitation prospects. Many clients have since turned their lives around.
Driver’s Licence Saved on Appeal Represented a working professional on a P-plate who had been convicted of a serious traffic offence. After advising him to appeal, Cheryl successfully secured a non-conviction in the District Court, allowing him to keep his driver’s licence and continue supporting his family.
Family Law Custody and Property Win Secured sole parental responsibility and 70% of the property pool for a domestic violence survivor, ensuring safety and long-term financial stability.
Partner Visa Success Maintains a 95% success rate in complex partner visa applications, including matters with prior refusals, health concerns, and character issues.
Sponsorship Approved at AAT Secured partner visa sponsorship approval at the AAT for a third-time sponsor. Cheryl successfully argued compelling and compassionate circumstances by presenting the couple’s genuine love story and long-standing commitment.
Citizenship Despite Convictions Helped clients with serious past offences gain Australian citizenship by preparing strong evidence of rehabilitation, remorse, and community contribution.
Visa Restored After Prison Successfully overturned a visa cancellation under s 501 of the Migration Act. Following an AAT hearing, the client—who had served a custodial sentence- was granted the right to remain in Australia and start over.
Estate Payout Secured at Trial Successfully represented a woman who had been left out of her late partner’s Will. After a contested Supreme Court trial in a wills and estates matter, Cheryl secured a payout recognising her entitlement despite being excluded from the estate.
