What is a criminal defence lawyer's role?
Criminal defence lawyers represent their clients in cases involving violations of criminal law. Criminal defence lawyers handle the majority of assignments and tasks that must be completed in criminal law cases. For example, criminal defence lawyers may examine the evidence against you and demonstrate to courts that the evidence is in your favour. Criminal defence lawyers also negotiate with governing authorities to lessen sentences or remove charges from your record. Criminal defence lawyers make certain that your voice is heard in the courtroom.
Cost of a good criminal defence lawyer?
The costs and fees of hiring a criminal defence lawyer will vary greatly based on the matter at hand. Our policy at Dribbin & Brown is, for Magistrates’ Court matters, to quote one fee for services rendered whenever we are able to do so. We want our clients to know exactly what their representation will cost from the beginning. For matters in the County and Supreme Courts that are more involved, we will do our best to clearly explain our fees at the onset.
