Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers assist clients in choosing the best criminal defence lawyer for their case in Brookfield. If you provide our firm’s support staff with the pertinent information about your criminal matter, we will direct you to the appropriate lawyer. When you meet your lawyer, it is important to make certain you and your lawyer are on the same page regarding your representation. Ask questions and our lawyers will happily answer if they are able.

The criminal defence lawyers at our firm in Brookfield make certain that their clients have a voice in their matter and in the courtroom. Criminal defence lawyers complete the tasks that must be handled in criminal law cases. They may contact the courts and appropriate lawyers to resolve matters, examine the evidence, present arguments to courts demonstrating their clients’ innocence in the criminal matter, or negotiate with governing authorities to lessen repercussions.

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. For matters in the County and Supreme Courts, we will strive to clearly explain our fees at the beginning of the representation.

Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers can help you find the best lawyer to represent you in a criminal matter. Our support staff is available by phone or email seven days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. We also offer virtual appointments to individuals who are unable to meet in person. We learn about your legal issue and use our knowledge and expertise to determine which criminal law specialist in our firm will best handle your matter.

If you are unable to afford the fees of a criminal solicitor, there are still options available for you. You do not have to go to court unrepresented. Legal Aid is a common alternative. Legal Aid is a government-funded service in Australia that provides legal representation or advice to individuals that qualify, free of charge. Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers accepts and welcomes Legal Aid enquiries, and on occasion, we work with clients who receive Legal Aid funding.

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.

It is beneficial to hire a criminal lawyer as soon as you have been charged with a criminal offence. This may lessen the overall time you will spend dealing with a criminal matter. If you are already part of the way into the matter, you can still hire a solicitor to assist you. The right lawyer can reduce the stressors you have associated with your criminal case by stepping into the matter and working to resolve it.

When contacting potential lawyers, there are a few key questions that you should ask clients. Keep in mind – the questions you should ask may vary on the nature of your criminal matter.

• Have you dealt with a case like mine before?
• Do you specialise in criminal law?
