If you are not happy with a decision made by a Magistrate in the Local or Children’s Court, then contact us to appeal severity of sentence. Our highly experienced Criminal Lawyers will examine your case and explain every aspect of the appeal process to you. More importantly, that lawyer will identify if there is any merit in the severity of sentence appeal and not waste your time or money. However, we have a high success rate in most matters on appeal because of our wealth of knowledge and extensive experience in this area of law.
The solicitor who represents the Prosecution will give the Judge a copy of the documents used in the Local Court. This includes the charge and facts sheet, a criminal record and any documents you tendered as evidence in your case.
It will then be up to your lawyer to tender further evidence or call you or anyone else as a witness in your case. Your criminal defence lawyer will then make submissions to the Judge about why your penalty should be reduced or changed.
