Mark Howden acted for an 18 year old man who was involved in a jealous dispute in a Brisbane Hotel. He had never been in trouble and during the course of the dispute he head butted the other person, who required surgery to his nose. Our client then left the Hotel and ran across the roofs of three cars causing significant damage.  

In recent times, the Courts have come down harshly on violence of this type. After careful preparation, our client was able to provide to the Court some character references showing his otherwise excellent character and good work record. A conviction was not recorded and he was ordered to perform Community Service. He also agreed to pay compensation to the person he injured and the damage bill for the cars.
