Criminal defence lawyers represent clients in matters involving criminal law violations and handle the majority of tasks associated with criminal law cases. For example, criminal defence lawyers may examine the evidence against their client and demonstrate to courts that the evidence supports their client’s innocence. Criminal defence lawyers may also negotiate with authorities to lessen repercussions or assist in the removal of charges from your record. Criminal defence lawyers at Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers work to ensure their clients’ voices are heard in the courtroom.

Costs of hiring a criminal defence lawyer vary based on the criminal matter and a large number of other factors, e.g., the defendant’s prior record, the length of time in court, the jurisdiction, etc. At Dribbin & Brown, for Magistrates’ Court matters, we quote one fee for services rendered whenever we can – so our clients know exactly what their representation will cost at the onset.
