Imagine: a dull, cold Melbourne morning. The courtroom is filled with tension. John, an innocent young man is brought into the courtroom. His future is in danger. Whom does he call? Melbourne’s most prestigious criminal defense lawyers www.haitchlegal.com.
Sarah Thompson for example. She’s known both for her wit and legal expertise. In a few short years, she was faced with a case which seemed impossible from the outset. Her client was accused by the police of embezzlement. This charge could ruin her client’s life. Sarah had one ace in her pocket: the uncanny ability she possessed to analyze financial records like an experienced detective.
Sarah leaned her client over and whispered, ‘Watch this.’ She stood then and systematically dismantled her client’s argument, pointing out contradictions that no one had noticed. The jury was left in a state of confusion; the Judge couldn’t help being impressed. Her client walked away a free person.
Tom Jenkins is also a legal name synonymous for success. Tom Jenkins represented a teenage boy who found himself in a maze of accusations when he happened to be at the right place at the worst time. In one of these cases, public opinion decided the case before any evidence could be presented.
Tom did more than defend his client. He became his friend, mentor and advocate all in one. He spent endless hours talking to witnesses and putting together alibis.
Tom spoke to the jury directly during his closing arguments. His words were powerful: “Imagine, if it was your son.” This wasn’t just a matter of facts; it was also a question of humanity and compassion. The jury deliberated for what seemed to be an eternity before returning with just two words.
Lisa Martin, an attorney with unyielding morals and a steely sense of justice is not to be forgotten. She defended the woman falsely accused by her boss of assaulting him. This powerful figure had connections everywhere.
Lisa knew it was important to play smartly, because she couldn’t afford mistakes with such a formidable competitor. She searched through background checks, Facebook posts and anything else she could think of to see if there was any way that her client might be able to win.
Lisa casually inquired in court about some seemingly irrelevant facts from years back, details only someone meticulous can catch on to. Then boom! The truth revealed itself right in front of everyone! The charges dropped faster than anyone could say, “case over.”
These aren’t just tales that you’ll hear around the campfire. They’re actual examples showing how tenacity, combined with expert knowledge, can make a terrible situation turn out completely.
If you ever find yourself in a situation where justice is threatened (or need good legal advice), keep these legends in mind.
Grab yourself another coffee. I don’t know what would make your heart beat faster than the live footy finals on MCG.
