Justin Sibley gave me my life back. In 2020, my Ex-wife began a 3 year assailment where she weaponised the domestic violence system for the purpose of controlling a property settlement. Had it not been for Justin and his team, she may have succeeded. Justin expertly dismantled the web of lies that she spun through countless court appearances at multiple locations- Domestic violence applications and applications to vary that went all the way to trial, as well as a criminal charge. Throughout these 3 years of hell, Justin was a godsend- He was calm, confident, and extremely knowledgeable. After being shellshocked, panicked, and devastated that this was happening to me, Justin got my head straight and educated me on the process and how we would deal with it. From the early days I felt confident that justice would prevail with Justin on my side. From Justins early communications with Police prosecutions, to his expert cross examination of the complainant and witnesses in Court, not once did I feel I would get anything other than a desirable outcome. One of the most memorable experiences in my life was watching and listening to Justins cross examinations- The way he would slowly and subtly lock someone into a version of events or a lie, then some time later, absolutely dismantle it in a way they just could not see coming- It was an absolute pleasure to watch. Justin did such an impeccable job in handling my matters, that not only did we beat the 'balance of probabilities'- but Justin destroyed it- All DV matters against me were found to be frivolous and vexatious, and the Magistrate was scathing of the Police and the 'aggrieved'/complainant. Jutin didnt just win, he didnt show the allegations 'probably didnt happen'- He proved that every single one of them did NOT happen. I can not see how any solicitor could have done a better job or got a better outcome than Justin did- It was a resounding win, to the point where Justin had costs above the scale awarded in my favour. This is exceptionally rare in DV/civil matters, and was an outstanding result for me- I got my life back without the financial devastation so many suffer having to finance their defence in these type of matters. Justins comprehensive and absolute win in these DV matters echoed through to my criminal charge which dragged on after the DV matters were dismissed- Justin was successful in obtaining a very rare 'permanent stay' of proceedings, based on his resounding win and total dismantling of the DV allegations. If you're up against it, talk to Justin. It's not just a job for him- I truly felt that Justin had my back, believed in me, and wanted to help me. Thank you Justin.
Bail Applications
Trusted Lawyers for Bail Applications
You are entitled to the presumption of innocence, as well as the presumption of bail where bail has been objected to by the police. It is often the case that bail is objected to quickly, without proper consideration to the merits of the objection. Bail applications require appropriate evidence to support the application, and careful advocacy. Police often make extraordinary claims in sworn affidavits, which should not just be accepted. The impact that deprivation of liberty has on a person is extreme.
Strategic Advocacy to Secure Your Release on Bail
We assist clients who have been arrested and had their bail denied by a Watchhouse, and are appearing before a Magistrate. We will not allow a Magistrate to make a decision under the Bail Act without first placing appropriate material before them. This includes supporting affidavit material. We approach all of our bail applications as you would expect of a Barrister, and will not simply make submissions without evidence.
Of course, Magistrates can make the wrong decision, often where an individual has attempted to apply for bail themselves or with a Duty Lawyer without supporting material. We assist clients to show a material change of circumstances where appropriate, or to make an application to the Supreme Court. Get in contact now if you have been arrested, or a loved one is being held by the police.
