How can a criminal defence lawyer help me?

Criminal defence lawyers complete the majority of tasks that must be handled in criminal law cases, e.g., contacting the courts and appropriate lawyers to resolve matters. Criminal defence lawyers may examine evidence and present arguments to courts demonstrating their clients’ innocence in the criminal matter. Criminal defence lawyers may also negotiate with governing authorities to lessen repercussions.
What does a good lawyer cost?
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.
How do I find a great criminal defence lawyer?
Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers in Wendouree can help you find a good criminal lawyer. Our firm specialises in criminal defence. We are available seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m. by phone or email. Our firm also offers phone and video appointments to individuals who are unable to meet at our Wendouree office for consultations.

What are my options if I can’t afford a criminal lawyer?
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.
I have been charged with a criminal offence, what lawyer should I hire?

Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers has highly experienced lawyers that can assist you with your criminal defence needs.
When to hire an experienced criminal defence lawyer?
It is beneficial to hire a criminal lawyer as soon as you have been charged with a criminal offence. This may lessen the overall time you will spend dealing with a criminal matter. If you are already part of the way into the matter, you can still hire a solicitor to assist you. The right lawyer can reduce the stressors you have associated with your criminal case by stepping into the matter and working to resolve it.
What questions are important for me to ask a criminal lawyer?
When interviewing lawyers to represent you in your criminal matter, it is important to ask the right questions to determine if a solicitor is the best person to represent you in your case. These questions may assist you in determining what lawyer would represent you best.
