Crimes involving violence have become a serious community concern resulting in recent changes in legislation. The courts are imposing increased penalties for crimes of violence. Currently under the Victorian gross violence legislation a mandatory sentence of a minimum 4 years in prison may be imposed, even for individuals with no past criminal convictions.
Our team of solicitors understands that assault and crimes involving violence are complex matters. We assess your case and identify key issues such as whether you were acting in self defence, whether any exceptional circumstances arise that may assist your case or whether you have been mistakenly identified as being involved.
