Criminal defence lawyers may examine evidence and present arguments to courts demonstrating their clients’ innocence in the criminal matter.

How much is a good lawyer?
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. For County and Supreme Court matters, we do our best to explain our fees at the beginning of the representation.
