Suspended Sentence Street Dealing drugs Class A - Croydon Crown Court
We acted for a university student charged with street dealing a large quantity of class A drugs namely cocaine. We made sure that an early guilty plea was entered to secure full credit to reduce his sentence exposure. We were instructed on a private basis and we engaged a leading London QC Queens Counsel. James O'Donnell Senior drugs lawyer was able to put together an outstanding sentence mitigation package on behalf of our client. Our client was looking at a starting point of 4.5 years plus prison sentence. We managed to argue that the sentence should be reduced to 2 years suspended imprisonment. Our client was delighted with the outcome and he can continue to conclude his 3rd year at university.
