Our client was charged with the drug importation of 1.6 kg of cocaine. Our client appeared before Central Local Court for his first bail application with a different law firm representing him.

Our team sought the available brief of evidence from the prosecution and having obtained the brief and considered the evidence, our team was successful in arguing at the bail hearing that the prosecution case was not a strong case. On that basis the Judge granted our client bail on very strict bail conditions that were proposed by our criminal lawyer Joseph Harb.

I am extremely grateful for Joseph Harb. He believed in my innocence when I was wrongly accused. I was found not guilty. Joseph was well respected by the magistrate who dealt with my case and his fees were affordable.
