Writing a good character reference for court, or for use in the legal system can have a profound effect on court outcomes.

Recently on my Instagram channel (@laing_at_law), I discussed what makes a good character reference, and what are some matters best left out.

If you check on the information tag on my website, then click ‘criminal law’, you will see there is a new page providing a wealth of information on writing a good court character reference. I hope this is of some assistance to you.

Whether you’re attending court on the Gold Coast, or in Brisbane, should you require the services of a Barrister please click on the ‘contact me’ button.
