What is the role of a criminal defence lawyer?
Criminal defence lawyers represent clients in cases involving violations of criminal law.

Criminal defence lawyers can also negotiate with the government to lessen sentences or assist in the removal of charges from their clients’ records.

At Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers, for Magistrates’ Court matters, we quote one fee for services rendered whenever it is possible. For matters that are in County and Supreme Courts, we do our best to explain our fees at the onset of representation. Because lawyers’ fees vary based on the type of offence, length of time spent in court, and a number of other factors, the lawyers at Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers go above and beyond to provide clients with cost and fee information.

I have been charged with a criminal offence, what lawyer should I hire?
If you are charged in a criminal case, it is best to hire a lawyer in the jurisdiction where you were charged who specialises in handling criminal matters (a criminal defence lawyer).

It is advantageous to hire a criminal lawyer the moment you are charged with a criminal offence. However, there is no need to fret if you are further into your matter and you haven’t hired a solicitor yet, you can still hire a lawyer to assist you even if you are deep in the process. A good criminal lawyer can possibly reduce the stress and worries you have regarding your criminal case by stepping into the matter and resolving it.
