What do criminal lawyers do?

Criminal defence lawyers research the law surrounding their clients’ offences, examine the evidence against their clients, and present their clients in the best possible light to the courts. Criminal defence lawyers can also negotiate with the government to lessen sentences or assist in the removal of charges from their clients’ records.
How much is a good lawyer?
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.
