Choosing the best criminal defence lawyer?
Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers can assist you in choosing the best criminal defence lawyer in Newport. Provide our firm’s support staff with information about your criminal matter, and our staff will do their best to direct you to the right lawyer. When you meet a potential lawyer, ask the lawyer questions to make certain you and your potential representation are on the same page regarding your case.
What does a criminal defence lawyer do?
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.
How much is a great criminal lawyer?
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.
How do I find the right criminal lawyer to defend me?
Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers in Newport specialises in criminal defence and can assist you in finding a good criminal lawyer.

What can I do if I’m not in a financial position to afford a criminal defence lawyer?
If you are unable to afford the fees of a criminal lawyer, there are options available to you – notably Legal Aid.

Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers accepts and welcomes Legal Aid enquiries and on occasion, our firm works with clients that are recipients of Legal Aid funding.
What lawyer can represent me in a criminal case?
If you have been charged with a criminal offence, it is best to hire a criminal lawyer in your locality who specialises in handling criminal matters, i.e., a criminal defence lawyer.

At what stage should I hire a criminal lawyer?
If you are charged with a criminal offence, a criminal lawyer may be able to assist you in resolving your matter. It is best to hire a criminal lawyer as soon as possible. A criminal lawyer can help you every step of the way. If you reach out early, your lawyer can work with you in the early stages and save you time and potentially avoid a stressful situation.
What questions should I ask a criminal lawyer?
When contacting a lawyer that you are interested in hiring, you should ask a few important questions. The questions you ask may vary based on your specific criminal matter, but the following questions may be helpful to ask regardless.
- What outcomes could result from these charges?
