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.

The costs of hiring a criminal defence lawyer vary based on the case. Some matters are more expensive and take more time while other matters do not require as much time and legwork. At Dribbin & Brown, for Magistrates’ Court matters, we quote one fee for services rendered whenever possible – so you know exactly what your representation will cost at the onset. For cases in County and Supreme Courts, we do our best to clearly explain our fees at the beginning of the representation.
