Six men and one woman arrested in a major organised crime bust have appeared at the High Court facing various drugs charges. Matt Goodwin acts for Maximiliano Javier Luna. Read full article here.
After two years in the court system, the client was found not guilty at a judge-alone trial. Spencer successfully argued that there was reasonable doubt about whether the client had been reckless in receiving the stolen property.
A client was declined entry into the Diversion programme- a Police led initiative which may allow first time offenders to do self-improvement courses instead of receiving a conviction.
Spencer successfully led the client through the right to review process, having the Police reconsider their decision and offer Diversion to her after all.
We are happy to advise that our law clerk, Spencer Wells, has recently been admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court.
He has now begun his role within Goodwin Law as a junior barrister, and we look forward to watching his development.
We advise that after close to 5 years working at Goodwin Law, Ciara Chester-Cronin has left the practice, effective from 4 April 2025. We wish her all the best with her future endeavours.
We are pleased to announce that Ciara will be replaced by another successful criminal lawyer, who commences on 12 April (details to be announced shortly). Our law clerk Spencer Wells, who has worked for the practice for 3 years, moves into a fulltime role as a junior following his admission to the Bar on 23 May.
