Charged with a Drug Offence? Here’s what to do next
How should I prepare for my first meeting with a criminal lawyer?
Often when individuals are charged with a criminal offense, they are in a state of confusion and panic. Booking a free no-obligation consultation with one of our criminal defence lawyers is an excellent step in ensuring that your rights are protected in the criminal justice process.
Why is choosing the right criminal lawyer so important?
It is important that you hire and retain a lawyer that is both experienced and familiar with the local criminal system, as well as practices within the area in which you or your loved one’s criminal charge lies within. By choosing a lawyer that you only know by reputation or by virtue of a relative or acquaintance, you may not receive the same expertise as an individual who has retained a criminal lawyer would.
