Conviction spent after nightclub brawl

Our client was a 24 year old man with a history of alcohol fuelled convictions for which he was given the benefit of a spent conviction. He came to us for assistance with a serious assault charge arising out of an incident in a Northbridge nightclub. Our client was concerned that a further conviction would impede his employment options. After reviewing the evidence, we advised our client to plead guilty to the charge for which he was ordered to pay a reasonable fine of $2000. Despite our client having previously received a spent conviction order we were able to persuade the magistrate to grant our client a second spent conviction order in relation to this matter, enabling our client to pursue his career on a mine site.
