What is a criminal lawyer?
Criminal defence lawyers defend accused people that are charged with a criminal offence.
Someone accused of a crime may hire a criminal defense lawyer to help with advice and representation during the investigation and legal proceedings. A criminal lawyer also performs investigations in relation to a case, provides advice to their clients, and manages the trial proceedings in front of a judge.
The criminal cases and proceedings in court are not like what you see on TV dramas. However, we understand that any interaction with the Australian legal system can be a difficult and stressful situation. For this reason, and with our experience and expertise in this area, we will advise you and help you through the situation to minimise stress and deliver results.
Our duty is to protect your rights and ensure you understand the process. We are with you through the process step by step. We focus on the best outcome in ensuring you receive the best defense possible.
Prior to providing evidence or pleading guilty, it is important that you speak to a criminal lawyer that will be able to advise you of your rights and how to manage any criminal charges.
