SUSPENDED SENTENCE:
Steven Mercael acted for a woman charged with the importation of 2.5 kilogram of methylamphetamine. This was more than 3 times the threshold for a commercial amount for this drug being 750 grams.
DRUG IMPORTATION:
Importing drugs into Australia is a Commonwealth offence.  Importation cases vary significantly in strength. Our lawyers know how to obtain the best result in your case.Â
We focus on the identification evidence of our clients, their knowledge at the time and the evidence in relation to the police investigation to ensure that you receive tailored advice on your criminal case.
If our clients plead guilty, we get them the most lenient sentences. See our results here.Â
OUR CLIENTS CASE:
Over 6 months, Steven negotiated a plea deal with the Commonweath DPP, and the matter proceed to a sentence hearing.
It is incredibly rare that a person charged with the importation of a commercial quantity of illicit drugs avoids a jail sentence, but Steven achieved this remarkable result.
Steven guided our client to preparing a very compelling case on sentence and instructed a strong team of psychologists as well as senior counsel to ensure our client had the best team representing her. Our client avoided any time at all in custody and received a 3-year suspended sentence.
