What does a criminal defence lawyer do?

Criminal defence lawyers may also negotiate with governing authorities to lessen repercussions.
How much is a good 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.

If you have been charged with a criminal offence, finding a criminal lawyer in your locality who specialises in handling criminal matters, i.e., a criminal defence lawyer, would best serve you.

When to hire an experienced criminal defence lawyer?
It is best to hire a criminal lawyer as soon as you have been charged in a criminal matter.

The right lawyer can reduce the stress you have associated with your criminal case by stepping in and making things right.
