Case Studies
Explore case studies from Stary Norton Halphen & Galbally highlighting criminal matters defended by our lawyers across Melbourne and Victoria.
Our case studies provide examples of the matters we have acted in, including serious and complex criminal prosecutions, and illustrate the legal issues, strategies and outcomes involved in individual cases.
Client Facing Mandatory Jail Leaves Without a Conviction
Luke Metherell represented a young client facing a serious armed robbery allegation and other criminal matters. The matter ultimately resolved to a controlled weapon offence, with a fine imposed without conviction.
Cultivating Cannabis in a Commercial Quantity
Charged with cultivating almost three times the commercial quantity of cannabis, our client faced mandatory imprisonment and had a relevant criminal history. With limited sentencing options available, the focus shifted to presenting the personal circumstances underpinning the offending and securing the best possible sentence structure, including an extended parole period.
