In a case where our client was charged with Assault against his former partner and had a Police issued Interim Intervention Order against him, we were successful in arguing our client's position directly with Police Prosecution to have both the criminal charge withdrawn and the Intervention Order revoked, therefore, saving our client the emotional stress of waiting for a Trial to receive justice.
