Criminal defence lawyers may examine evidence or compose and present arguments to courts demonstrating their clients’ innocence.

How much is a good lawyer?
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.

The right lawyer can reduce the stress you have associated with your criminal case by stepping in and making things right.
