Our client was well aware of the extremely serious nature of her charges and immediately contacted Oxford Lawyers Parramatta. The case was handled directly by the Principal and Accredited Specialist in Criminal Law, Mr Zemarai Khatiz who’s first major task was ensuring our client was granted Bail.

The magistrate agreed with Mr Khatiz’ arguments and granted our client bail.

After extensive further preparation Mr Khatiz appeared at the Supreme Court of NSW. A very lengthy trial concluded with our client receiving a section 9 good behaviour bond for 2 years. In light of the extremely serious nature of her offence and the fact that she was facing life in prison, he being able to return home and take care of her kids was the ideal result.
