Criminal Defense

---

"J" contacted our firm after he had been arrested for drunkenly swearing at security personnel of a mall and urinating in public. He had a prior warning for a similar offence, but we were successful in avoiding prosecution for him after we highlighted the special circumstances in this case.

Employer of "S" (a foreigner) engaged our firm as they were afraid that "S" would be repatriated if he received a long jail sentence. Due to our successful representations, the charge was reduced and "S" was sentenced to a Short Detention Order of only 1 Week, instead of jail. 

Family of "D" engaged our firm to represent him and seek a reduced sentence in his case for assisting an unlicenced moneylender. Despite there being a benchmark case for the offence in question, we were successfully able to secure a sentence below that which is normally imposed.

"M" came to see us after he was told that he was looking at 6 months' imprisonment for receiving items he knew were stolen. Through our forceful submissions in Court we were able to secure a sentence of 3 months' imprisonment for him instead. 

"C" contacted us after he was caught doing a private act in a public place. We conducted research to prove his claim that his medication was responsible for his actions. Our efforts paid off and we succeeded in securing a warning in lieu of prosecution for him, leaving him with no criminal record.  

"R" got in touch with us from overseas after he was contacted by the Singapore Police Force regarding a matter that happened many years ago. Through our negotiations we were able to achieve a successful result for him, with no further action taken by the authorities at all.   

"L" (on Employment Pass) was investigated after he got into a scuffle with a neighbour in a lift. Despite punches being exchanged, we succeeded in asking for a stern warning to be imposed instead of him being charged. As a result "L" kept his job and continues to stay in Singapore with his family. 

"LPT" engaged us as she was facing charges under the Computer Misuse Act. As a result of our detailed research, we were able to find previous cases of a similar nature. We used this to convince the Court that a fine was appropriate, despite the original position being a jail term of between 5 to 9 months. We succeeded.   

"CO" was charged with 2 offences after being investigated by the CPIB. Through our detailed written submissions in Court, we were able to obtain a fine for our client, despite similar offenders usually being sentenced to jail.
