How do I choose a good criminal defence lawyer?

What is the role of a criminal defence lawyer?
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.
Price of a great 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.
How do I find the right criminal defence lawyer for me in Carlton?
Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers in Carlton can help you find a good criminal lawyer. Our firm specialises in criminal defence. We are available seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m. by phone or email. Our firm also offers phone and video appointments to individuals who are unable to meet at our Carlton office for consultations. In these meetings, we will learn more about your legal issue and use the information we gather to find you the best legal representation.
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 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.
What kind of lawyer do I need for a criminal case?

A criminal defence lawyer will have a familiarity with the legal process and the law that governs your offence. Dribbin & Brown Criminal Lawyers has a number of experienced lawyers that can assist you with your criminal defence needs.
At what stage should I hire a criminal lawyer?
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.
What questions are important for me to ask a criminal lawyer?
When interviewing lawyers to represent you in your criminal matter, it is important to ask the right questions to determine if a solicitor is the best person to represent you in your case. These questions may assist you in determining what lawyer would represent you best.
