Fred was incredibly professional
Fred was incredibly professional, He walked me through the process on how to prepare and what courses I needed to finish to help my Case. A very unexpected result went my favour with the matter being thrown out which I credit all to Freds doing. I couldn't recommend Fred highly enough.
Absolutely fantastic results
Absolutely fantastic results achieved by Fred and his team for my case and I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism and tactful advice in helping me through a most traumatic legal experience, I highly recommend their excellent services.
No conviction no fine
Fred Cao recently represented me in court, he explained and guided me through the whole process. The day of my court hearing the strategies he used and his excellent representation achieved the best possible result for me, no conviction no fine. I am very grateful to and would highly recommend Fred Cao.
I’m the only one who didn’t get convicted in the court room
Fred Cao handled my case today very well. It was my first time to appeal to court and I have no idea what it feels like to be in a court room. The Judge was so direct and straightforward and every person who faced her today was convicted for negligent driving. However, in my case, Fred managed it responsibly, competent, and given me hope and postive re-assurance. He was able to observed the mood of the Judge to when is the best time to present to her my case as the court room is getting very pressured. My case is different to others as I’m battling for my license since I’m already in a good behaviour. After 1 hour break, we went back to the court room to hear the decision of the judge. I’ve got a positive result. I’m the only one who didn’t get convicted in the court room. Thanks Fred Cao for being helpful, good analytical skills, good judgement and perseverance. It’s my lucky day :) . I would highly recommend him. 👍👍👍👍👍
Simple and easy
Very happy with the service provided, very quick, thorough and easy to deal with. I had a matter in which Fred sought a much better outcome. Fred liaised with the courts, police and other lawyer and kept me informed and sought my instructions. They made the whole experience change from a very stressful one to one that was very simple and easy. Highly recommend Sydney Criminal Lawyers.
No record, no fine
I was represented by Fred Cao and am more that thrilled with the results. Fred assisted in us recording a no conviction result on a guilty plea to unauthorised entry.
It was the best possible result. No record, no fine and a chance to learn from my mistakes without having them hang over my head.
Great work!
Being my first and last experience with the court, Fred and the team at Sydney Criminal Lawyers were beyond supportive and helped me to focus and prepare the best possible case around subjective evidence, ultimately leading to the perfect outcome.
Well done and thank you.
No conviction result in a recent guilty plea
Fred and the team at Sydney Criminal Lawyers were critical in me receiving a no conviction result in a recent guilty plea. It was the best possible result.
Being my first experience with the legal system, Fred was available for support and guidance from beginning to end.
I cannot thank Fred and the SCL team enough!
