Figuring this out at the onset of the matter will ensure you are both on the same page about your representation.
What do criminal lawyers do?

Criminal defence lawyers complete the majority of tasks that must be handled in criminal law cases, e.g., contacting the courts and appropriate lawyers to resolve matters. Criminal defence lawyers may examine evidence and present arguments to courts demonstrating their clients’ innocence in the criminal matter. Criminal defence lawyers may also negotiate with governing authorities to lessen repercussions.
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.

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