It
should be noted that a lot of experience and expertise goes into preparing the evidence, including subjective evidence (apology
letter, character references) for a defendant on a mitigation plea. Issues of specific and general deterrence are in play
and the court must be convinced of prospects of rehabilitation. But if the work is put in to best prepare a defendant then
a lenient outcome with greater responsibility and citizenship can be a new direction and a new beginning. For more
serious matters the extra cost of counsel expert in court advocacy should be briefed to put verbal submissions in
the most convincing way. This would apply for instance for those facing a gaol term as a maximum penalty.

"As a person of colour I have experienced systemic racism
either directly or
indirectly. I am very proud that I go to university as an exchange student.
I was shocked and disappointed when I was singled out for a personal insult
by a police officer at the campus of the University of Sydney in April 2019. At
the time I was outside my student residence and concerned about police closing
down an authorised student celebration going into the Easter Holiday break.
I was arrested and charged with two public order 2 offences.
Thomas carefully listened to my instructions and viewed the video of the
police conduct and my reaction.
I was due to fly home in a few weeks as funded by my school back home so I
had limited legal options as far as due process or appeal rights.
Thomas organised representations to police on the facts in my matter, and a
sentencing 5 days before my pre booked flight home. He also drafted a sworn
statement outlining my personal circumstances and for pro bono counsel
Rose Khalilizadeh of Forbes Chambers, who is an alumni of Uni of Sydney, to
appear for me on the day.
The Magistrate was impressed with my personal references, youth, education,
clear record and personal explanations. She accepted that I reacted to police
action that triggered memories of extreme events back in my home country, and
that arrest by police there can go from a trivial matter to life threatening. As
a result I was given a conditional release order without conviction and ordered
to pay court costs of $251.
I am grateful for the legal service provided by Thomas. This was a weight
off my shoulders and allows me to continue with my career in the caring
professions where I believe I can help many other people and fully realise my
potential."
"Thomas was sensitive and very helpful in winning my legal matter.
He organised pro bono counsel, expert evidence, other legal supports. He dealt with police and the court procedures in a complex
and unusual case including medical history. I was able to re-group and return to my studies after serious set backs most people
would never have to cope with. Thankyou Thomas!"
I hope you have had a good day so far! I was just wondering if I could pop in some time
today or tomorrow with my ANU legal work experience form for signing off. I've filled everything out - the only part left
is the signing off and submitting it to ANU for approval. Your supervision
of my legal placement has been greatly appreciated and it really helped boost my confidence in my Compliance interview with
[big Sydney based finance company]. I can honestly say that i might not have gotten the role without the work experience I
gained at SRC Legal, so thank you for everything you have done for me Thomas. Kind
regards ...." 2012 "Top qualities:
Expert, Good Value, High Integrity" I recently hired Thomas
for a legal matter. I am pleased and satisfied with his thorough research, excellent advice and professional work. I have
known Thomas as a friend and colleague for 20years, and consistently found him to be very dedicated, hard-working, ethical
and honourable. In my experience with lawyers, these are very rare qualities, that makes Thomas' work outstanding in his field.”

July 2019 "Thanks so much for all your help, it is a huge weight off my shoulders. So happy about this result." (Sydney uni student after $4K judgement against taxi
driver in the Local Court in Sydney after originally facing $6K demand by taxi company for car accident damage) June 2019 "You were a good mentor. You are not like some bosses in legal firms. I have seen
some really bad bullying in other places. They are ruthless. Don't spend time trying to work out false complaints, it's a
waste of time and energy." Professor of human
rights law in another country, now admitted fully employed solicitor in NSW, legal intern 12 months at SLS June 2019 "As a person of colour I have experienced systemic racism either directly or indirectly.
I am very proud that I go to university as an exchange student. 2018 (November) " Hi Thomas, it's XXXX here. I am planning to have lunch
with you and another friend who suggests me seeking [your] help to celebrate the success of my case at Din Tai Fung (a Yum
Cha restaurant) at Central Park Shopping centre level 2 at 1 .... All the best wishes to you. You are an excellent solicitor
.... l just received the payment from xxxxxx. Thank you very much! ... Will we be able to have a lunch celebration at any

and my case. I really appreciate that he used his time for me." Sept 2017 "Thomas was excellent
and assisted in resolving my problems." August 2017 "The lawyer Thomas is extremely helpful, provided me
very professional advices." July 2017 "Thomas (McLoughlin) was very helpful and professional.
I was impressed by his timely written summary of our appointment and advice by email. His willingness to travel to my home
to meet in person or speak over the phone as required was greatly appreciated." July 2017 "Thomas the solicitor was always a joy to speak to, and the sessions where we had our discussions were the best
part of the experience" June 2017 "The professionalism and dedication of Thomas who was
extremely helpful and patient. Not only did he represent me but he kept me informed about the specifics of the judiciary system
along the way. Any questions I had were answered thoroughly and I ultimately felt prepared, informed and confident in disputing
my matter in court." December 2016 "Getting great legal advice during critical periods
where this was needed that, overall, help to have the matter dismissed in court. Thank you very much!" Sept 2016 "When I first came for a walk-in appointment I was promptly attended to by Thomas
and after assessing the urgency of my situation we rescheduled for an appointment the next day. Within half an hour we quickly
ascertained a course of action to seek a withdrawal of my traffic offence and Thomas effectively spoke with all the relevant
authorities over the phone and by email, cc'ing me and keeping my in the loop the whole time. Within a week he obtained a
full withdrawal and the case didn't need to proceed to court. All round a fantastic service, I am so lucky that the SRC can
provide such high-quality representation for students at no cost to the student." July 2016 "Thomas McLoughlin was excellent. He was a really nice guy and seemed genuinely passionate about resolving the issue.
He also knew his stuff, which helps." June 2016 - Cost- it was free, and it was just as thorough as
going to a paid service. The service not only gave professional, legal advice, but also guided me through the whole process
from the beginning to end. - Understanding- Thomas worked on my case and he was understanding that I was a full-time student,
with very little knowledge of the legal system.The appointments were thorough and he answered any questions that I had - Location-
it was easy to get to on main campus April 2016 "They saved my family from the xxxxxxxx from overcharging
me by 52%. They helped all 30 of us from this stupid action by the xxxxxxx. 52% what were you thinking xxxxx. Now we can keep
the house, and my dad and I can sleep at night. For the first time in 2 years, I feel human again." April 2016 "I am a mature age disable student (with serious illness) at Sydney University. I was well treated and was made
comfortable. I feel that my case will be well look after with - and it did; even though I feel that I would be convicted this
time because of previous similar offences. My [legal] representative was well organised in sorting out all was required on
time. I was well informed of any details that I should be aware of. He (Thomas McLoughlin) did an excellent Job throughout
the case and in finding a right Barrister who would be able to act upon the case throughout. Mr McLoughlin was also not only
did his job well according to his work ethic and procedures; he was very professional and understanding with compassion; that
he even make sure I was well taken care of - he offered to pick and drop me off for the case as my health was sometimes not
functional due to lack of chemical imbalance (extreme low in calcium), that affect my physical ability to walk or stand on
my feet for certain times. I was finally acquitted after almost 10 months of waiting nervously whether what my fate was going
to be. I was amazed when the Judge announced the final verdict, that I was not sentenced to criminal punishment but was given
a warning and continuation of a visit to my psychology for anger management and other issues that may have contributed to
my offence (common assault). I finally feel relieved and happy with the result. I am so thankful to [SLS] for the excellent
job and support that make this case possible. The fee for the Barrister (Julieanne Levick) would also be reasonable to what
I could managed to my financial means as a struggling unemployed disable student. Not only I was given the chance to pay it
by instalment but also the SRC was able to assist me with the fees by offering some amount that I am so glad, would reduce
the total legal fee that I have to pay. I am so glad that I approached the right people for if I went to a normal legal aid,
it would have been a different story altogether." 2015 "Hi Thomas, I was just wondering if I could pop in some time today
or tomorrow with my ANU legal work experience form for signing off. I've filled everything out - the only part left is the
signing off and submitting it to ANU for approval. Your supervision of my legal placement has been greatly appreciated and it really helped boost my confidence in

without the work experience I gained at SRC Legal, so thank you for everything you have done for me Thomas. Kind regards ...." Email from legal intern - Vietnamese Australian law
