What makes a good lawyer & how to choose one?

Provide us with information about your criminal case and we can connect you with the lawyer that will best represent you in your case. When we connect you to your lawyer, ask questions to determine if the lawyer is a good match for you. Figuring this out at the onset of the matter will ensure you are both on the same page about your representation.
How can a criminal defence lawyer help me?
In a criminal case, criminal defence lawyers handle the majority of tasks associated with criminal law cases. Criminal defence lawyers work to ensure that your voice is heard in the courtroom. For example, a criminal defence lawyer may examine the evidence against you and demonstrate to courts that the evidence is in your favour. Criminal defence lawyers may be able to assist you with the removal of charges from your record and lessen your sentences by negotiating with local courts.
Price of a criminal defence lawyer in Albert Park?
The costs and fees that are associated with hiring a criminal defence lawyer vary based on the matter at hand. Our policy at Dribbin & Brown, for Magistrates’ Court matters, is to quote one fee for services rendered whenever possible – so you know exactly what your representation will cost at the onset of the case. For matters in the County and Supreme Courts, we will strive to clearly explain our fees at the beginning of the representation.

Can I still have legal representation if I can’t afford a criminal defence lawyer?
