What is the role of a criminal defence lawyer?
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.
Cost of a great criminal defence lawyer in Preston?
Lawyers’ fees vary based on the type of offence, time spent in court or dealing with the courts, and numerous other factors. However, the lawyers at Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers work hard to provide clients with cost and fee information. At Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers, for Magistrates’ Court matters, whenever possible, we quote one fee for services rendered. For cases that are held in County and Supreme Courts, we explain our fees at the onset of representation whenever possible.
