In a criminal case, criminal defence lawyers handle the majority of tasks associated with criminal law cases. Criminal defence lawyers work to ensure that your voice is heard in the courtroom. For example, a criminal defence lawyer may examine the evidence against you and demonstrate to courts that the evidence is in your favour. Criminal defence lawyers may be able to assist you with the removal of charges from your record and lessen your sentences by negotiating with local courts.

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. At Dribbin & Brown, it is our policy that in Magistrates’ Court matters, we provide a quote for services rendered whenever possible – so our clients will know what their representation will cost at the onset.
