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 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.

We learn about your legal issue in your initial consultation and use our expertise to determine which expert in our firm can best handle your case.

If you are unable to afford the fees of a criminal lawyer, there are still options for you. Legal Aid is a common alternative; it is a government-funded service in Australia that provides legal representation or advice to qualifying individuals, free of charge. 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.

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. A lawyer that specialises in criminal defence will understand the law governing your offence, and they will also understand the local court system. Contact Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers, and our firm can assist you and connect you with one of our highly experienced lawyers.

It is best to hire a criminal lawyer as soon as you have been charged in a criminal matter. If you are already past that initial point in your criminal case, you can still hire a lawyer to assist you, and you will likely be very glad that you did. The right lawyer can reduce the stress you have associated with your criminal case by stepping in and making things right.
