The criminal defence lawyers at our firm in Richmond defend clients at every stage of their criminal case. Criminal defence lawyers complete virtually all of the tasks that must be handled in criminal law cases, e.g., contacting the courts and other lawyers to resolve matters, examining evidence, and presenting arguments to courts demonstrating their clients’ innocence in criminal matters. Criminal defence lawyers may also negotiate with governing authorities to lessen their clients’ repercussions.

The costs of a criminal defence lawyer vary based on the matter at hand. Fees can vary based on the amount of time in court, the type of work associated with the case, and a number of other factors.
