To choose the best criminal defence lawyer, you should reach out to Dribbin & Brown if you are located in an area served by our firm. Provide our support staff with information about your criminal matter, and we can point you in the right direction and connect you with a lawyer that will best serve your needs. When determining if the lawyer is good for you, ask the lawyer any question you may have at the onset of the matter to ensure you are both on the same page about your representation.

Criminal defence lawyers represent clients in cases involving violations of criminal law. These advocates are a voice for their clients, and they handle the majority of tasks associated with criminal law cases. Criminal defence lawyers research the law surrounding their clients’ offences, examine the evidence against their clients, and present their clients in the best possible light to the courts. Criminal defence lawyers can also negotiate with the government to lessen sentences or assist in the removal of charges from their clients’ records.

The costs and fees of 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 will know exactly what your representation will cost at the onset. For matters in the County and Supreme Courts, we will strive to clearly explain our fees at the beginning of the representation.
