How can a criminal defence lawyer help me?
Criminal defence lawyers represent clients in matters involving criminal law violations. Criminal defence lawyers handle the majority of tasks associated with criminal law cases. For example, criminal defence lawyers can examine the evidence against you and demonstrate to courts that the evidence is not as clear-cut as the police state it is. Criminal defence lawyers can also negotiate with governing authorities to lessen sentences or assist in the removal of charges from your record. Criminal defence lawyers ensure that your voice is heard in the courtroom.

At Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers, for Magistrates’ Court matters, we do our best to quote one fee for services rendered. For matters that our clients are dealing with in County and Supreme Courts, we do our best to explain how our fees work at the onset of representation. Lawyers’ fees vary based on the type of offence, length of time spent in court, and many other factors. The lawyers at Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers do their best to provide clients with cost and fee information.

What can I do if I’m not in a financial position to afford a criminal defence lawyer?

Who should I hire to represent me in a criminal case?
If you are charged in a criminal case, it is best to hire a lawyer in the jurisdiction where you were charged who specialises in handling criminal matters (a criminal defence lawyer).
