Frequently asked questions

When should a criminal lawyer be contacted

Legal advice should be sought as early as possible, including before giving a statement or attending an interview, because procedural choices and deadlines may affect the defence.

What should be provided for an urgent assessment

Provide the summons, warrant, decision or other official document, the date it was served, any known hearing date and a concise account of the relevant facts.

Can the firm also represent a victim

Yes, subject to a conflict check and the requirements of the particular case. The available steps and time limits depend on the offence and procedural stage.
