Not Guilty – Sexual Intercourse Without Consent
Our client was charged with sexual intercourse without consent — a serious allegation with life-changing consequences. The stakes were high, but we knew the evidence didn’t support the charge.
After careful preparation, strategic cross-examination, and a focused defence, the jury returned a not guilty verdict.
This outcome wasn’t luck. It was the result of precise legal strategy, deep experience in criminal law, and a commitment to defending our clients’ rights.

Super gem in their profession. Professional and very knowledgable in this area of expertise.Thank you so much for this victory.
I recently had the pleasure of being represented by Timothy Stern. Being falsely accused was an incredibly emotional time for me, and Tim’s support made all the difference. From the very beginning, he was always available to answer my questions and provide support whenever I needed someone to talk to - which was especially in the beginning quiet often. His responsiveness and dedication were truly remarkable.
Not only was Tim empathetic and understanding of my situation, but he also demonstrated a strategic mind, maneuvering me through the complexities of the case. His ability to work cost-effectively was a relief, and I felt confident that I was in good hands throughout the entire process.
One of the most impressive aspects of Tim's representation was his ability to negotiate with the police and get the case dropped before it even reached the court hearing. This outcome was beyond what I had hoped for, and I am incredibly grateful for his expertise and hard work.
I highly recommend Timothy Stern to anyone in need of a competent, empathetic, and strategic criminal lawyer. His professionalism and dedication to his clients is truly exceptional.

I reached out to Timothy Stern during the most difficult times of my life. He was very clear in his communication, very genuine from day 1, set very clear expectations, explained my options very clearly, and told me — without telling me — what the right choices were. Showed empathy (which lawyers lack), with firm and clear facts. Challenged me where need was. We had a positive outcome in lower court, but he stated that it could be improved. We reached the higher court and got the perfect outcome. Very reasonable with costs and prompt in response, without capping the time that he can be contacted. He suggested an excellent attorney for my family law matters. I would highly recommend the NCL team. @Tim & @NCL team, thank you for your assistance.
Thank you for the brilliant service and the commitment you made. I really appreciate. All the best!
Having tried many other places and not getting a call back, it was such a relief to talk with Tim. From the first conversation I was kept fully informed of every detail. It took less than 24hrs to get a partial resolution to my problem and everything was fully resolved before my court date. I was highly impressed. Don’t bother going elsewhere.
The team here at ncl at Bella Vista are amazing they put in so much effort a time to get the best out come for you. Very good at what they do would highly recommend getting in touch with them thank you again guys.

Sylvie Houston was a beacon of hope to me when the likelihood of a satisfactory outcome seemed impossible. Her legal expertise is truly exceptional, she is not only highly knowledgeable but her attention to detail is beyond imagination, I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer.
Mr Mousa is always on top of things and very prompt in his response and communication.
Big thanks to John Amiradakis for representing me on my verdict day in a highly professional and organised manner.
NCL highly recommended !
