What is a criminal defence lawyer's role?
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 criminal defence lawyer in Winter Valley?
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.
