SCL LAWYER
Mr Yusuf Assaad is a dedicated specialist criminal defence lawyer who is committed to achieving optimal outcomes for his clients.
Yusuf commenced his criminal law career as a law clerk with two criminal defence law firms before being admitted as a lawyer and gaining the attention of our principal for his passion for criminal justice and persuasive representation of clients.
He is a talented defence lawyer who has the ability to carefully dissect prosecution evidence, identifying weaknesses including material inconsistencies and deficiencies in proof, as well as statutory and general legal defences, and to formulate and implement defence strategies that achieve positive outcomes – from the withdrawal of charges at early stages in the legal proceedings to dismissals in court.
Yusuf leaves no stone unturned when it comes to the preparation of criminal and traffic law cases and has proven himself to be an effective courtroom advocate, with the ability to persuade magistrate and judges to reach decisions which his clients seek; whether this be a lenient sentencing outcome such as a ‘non conviction order’ or a not guilty verdict.
He is an empathetic lawyer who is committed to ensuring clients from all social, cultural, ethnic and economic backgrounds are treated with understanding and respect, and who hold social justice and the protection of his clients’ interests at the very fore at all times.
Yusuf is an integral member of Sydney’s best criminal defence team.
Tremendous work in supporting my matter, and getting the result that I was hopeful for
I would like to thank Yusuf Assaad for his tremendous work in supporting my matter, and getting the result that I was hopeful for. He showcased his commitment to my matter via great communication and a genuine understanding of my situation, which made me feel comfortable and confident that I would get the outcome that I wanted. I highly recommend his services. Thanks again Yusuf!
I left the court with no Criminal conviction
Today I went to court to face charges of breaching an Interim AVO because I sent kind words to my ex wife. I faced a potential 2 years in Prison and / or up to $5500 fine plus a criminal conviction on top of court fees. Thanks to Yussef and his hard work, I left the court with no Criminal conviction, good behaviour and just $200 court fees.
He was so professional and used his skills to convince the judge that I had made an error and deserved leniency. I highly recommend SCL and in particular Yusef! He is a dead set legend and has a promising career in law ahead of him! Thanks mate!
