How can a criminal defence lawyer help me?
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?
Costs of hiring a criminal defence lawyer vary based on the criminal matter and a large number of other factors, e.g., the defendant’s prior record, the length of time in court, the jurisdiction, etc. At Dribbin & Brown, for Magistrates’ Court matters, we quote one fee for services rendered whenever we can – so our clients know exactly what their representation will cost at the onset. For County and Supreme Court matters, we do our best to explain our fees at the beginning of the representation.
