What do criminal lawyers do?
Criminal defence lawyers represent clients in matters involving criminal law violations. Criminal defence lawyers handle the majority of tasks associated with criminal law cases. For example, criminal defence lawyers can examine the evidence against you and demonstrate to courts that the evidence is not as clear-cut as the police state it is. Criminal defence lawyers can also negotiate with governing authorities to lessen sentences or assist in the removal of charges from your record. Criminal defence lawyers ensure 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.
How can I find the best criminal lawyer for me?
Searching for the right lawyer can be difficult in some cases. To find the best criminal lawyer to represent you, contact Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers. We are here to help you. Our staff is available by phone or email from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., any day of the week. We also offer phone appointments and video conferences for individuals who are unable to meet in person.

What can I do if I’m not in a financial position to afford a criminal defence lawyer?
If you cannot pay a criminal lawyer’s fees, there are alternative options available. Legal Aid is a helpful and substantial option for support. Legal Aid is a government-funded service in Australia that provides legal representation and advice, free of charge to individuals that qualify for the program. Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers accepts Legal Aid enquiries, and we occasionally take on clients that are recipients of Legal Aid funding.
What lawyer can represent me in a criminal case?

Should I hire a criminal defence lawyer as soon as I am charged with a criminal offence?
