De Boyrie Law

Drug convictions don’t all carry the same outcome. A strong sentencing strategy can reduce penalties—and sometimes keep you out of jail entirely.

Pre-Sentence Reports

Sentencing isn’t just about what the law allows—it’s about what your lawyer can show the court. In drug cases, outcomes vary widely based on the nature of the offence, the person’s background, and how the facts are presented. We build persuasive sentencing submissions supported by character references, treatment records, and context that humanizes our clients. Whether the goal is avoiding a criminal record, negotiating for a conditional discharge, or minimizing jail time in serious trafficking matters, our approach is tailored to highlight rehabilitation, personal growth, and proportionality in every case.

Popular questions

What is sentencing advocacy in a drug case?
It’s the process of persuading a judge to impose the most favourable sentence possible—based on your background, remorse, efforts to change, and the specific details of the offence.
Yes, depending on the type of offence and your circumstances. Options may include conditional discharges, suspended sentences, or community-based punishments.
Absolutely. Courts often view rehabilitation efforts and mental health treatment as important mitigating factors—especially when properly presented by your lawyer.

A discharge means no criminal record is imposed, even though you’ve been found guilty. It’s a powerful sentencing tool your lawyer can request in the right situation.
