A LAWYER who is the subject of multiple complaints to the legal regulator appeared in Newtown Local Court yesterday charged with assaulting two police officers and driving with more than four times the legal blood alcohol limit last month.

David Marocchi, 36, an accredited personal injury specialist who started his own law firm, Paramount Lawyers, last month, was also charged with resisting arrest and failing or refusing to undergo a breath test after he was stopped in his black Holden Commodore in King Street, Newtown.

All five offences are alleged to have occurred between 11.05pm and 11.40pm on February 6. Court documents said Marocchi was apprehended by Constable Tania Holmes, one of the officers he allegedly assaulted, and granted police bail shortly after 5am the next day. His blood alcohol analysis result was listed on his charge sheet as 0.215.

He is described on the website of Paramount Lawyers as "approachable and charismatic", having been the vice-president of the Liverpool-Fairfield District branch of the NSW Law Society and "a true innovator in the legal profession, pioneering people's compensation claims internationally".

A number of his former clients who live in mainland China but who were injured in motor vehicle accidents while visiting Australia have long-standing complaints against him that remain under investigation by the Legal Services Commissioner.

Marocchi has previously been charged with drink driving and had his licence suspended, according to the court documents.

He left Keddies Lawyers in January and is now the subject of Supreme Court legal action that continues today by his former firm. A partner of Keddies, Tony Barakat, was in court observing the brief mention yesterday.

Marocchi's solicitor, Greg Walsh, asked that the matter be held over for a week so he could seek instructions. The magistrate, Bernard Kennedy, adjourned the case to next Tuesday and continued conditional bail, which bans Marocchi from driving.
