The costs and fees of hiring a criminal defence lawyer vary based on the matter at hand. Our policy at Dribbin & Brown, for Magistrates’ Court matters, is to quote one fee for services rendered whenever possible – so you will know exactly what your representation will cost at the onset.

Can I still have legal representation if I can’t afford a criminal defence lawyer?
If you are unable to afford the fees of a criminal lawyer, there are still options for you.

Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers accepts and welcomes Legal Aid enquiries and on occasion, our firm works with clients that are recipients of Legal Aid funding.
Who should I hire to represent me in a criminal case?
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). A lawyer that specialises in criminal defence will likely be familiar with the law governing your offence and will also be familiar with the local court system and its procedures. If you are dealing with a matter in an area where we have a location, call Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers, and our firm can assist you.
When should I hire a criminal lawyer?
It is best to hire a criminal lawyer as soon as you have been charged with a criminal offence. However, if you are past that point, do not fret, a lawyer can still assist you tremendously even if you are part of the way through the process. A good criminal lawyer can reduce the stress, worries, and financial burden you may have or be facing in regard to your criminal case. The right lawyer will step into the matter and make things right.
