Recently, two clients sought representation in relation to a £66,000 fraud charge. According to the Sentencing Guideline Council, immediate custodial sentences were inevitable. In this particular case, both defendants avoided going to prison, one of them appearing at the Crown Court at Isleworth.
A great many things can be done to mitigate even serious offences. Early representation to the Crown Prosecution Service can be made. The timing of a plea is crucial, as is the venue. And, if pleas of guilty are entered at the appropriate time and suitable mitigation advanced, even an apparently inevitable immediate custodial sentence can be avoided.
