Sydney Criminal Lawyers obtained ‘section 19(1)(b) recognizances’ (ie bonds without criminal convictions) for a 43 year old woman who pleaded guilty to multiple counts of passport fraud in 2001 and 2011.
We worked on the matter for several months, successfully having the number of charges reduced and the ‘sentencing facts’ amended. We also arranged for reports and references placing our client in an excellent position at her Sentencing.
Remarkably, her previous criminal lawyers told her that she would certainly receive lengthy prison sentences.
