The criminal defence lawyers at our firm in Bundoora defend clients in all stages of their criminal matters. Criminal defence lawyers complete the majority of tasks that must be handled in criminal law cases, e.g., contacting the courts and appropriate lawyers to resolve matters. Criminal defence lawyers may examine evidence and present arguments to courts demonstrating their clients’ innocence in the criminal matter. Criminal defence lawyers may also negotiate with governing authorities to lessen repercussions.

The costs and fees of hiring a criminal defence lawyer will vary greatly based on the matter at hand. Our policy at Dribbin & Brown is, for Magistrates’ Court matters, to quote one fee for services rendered whenever we are able to do so. We want our clients to know exactly what their representation will cost from the beginning. For matters in the County and Supreme Courts that are more involved, we will do our best to clearly explain our fees at the onset.
