Spent Conviction order for fake medical certificates

Our client, a nurse, was charged with forging medical certificates provided to her employer. We were able to sympathetically explain the circumstances in which the offences were committed and that a community based order with counselling and community service requirements would best serve the interests of our client and the community. Spent conviction order for dishonesty offences are ordinarily challenging to procure, however, we successfully persuaded the Magistrate to grant our client a spent conviction order in respect of each of her 10 convictions so as to not allow these convictions to detrimentally impact her nursing career.
