If you are charged with a criminal offence, or another type of offence such as regulatory or professional offence, you have the opportunity to obtain a lawyer to assert your rights and ensure that you are treated fairly. It is a very good idea to talk to a lawyer as soon as you know that you have a problem, or might have a problem, with a criminal charge or some other type of charge.
We try our very best to provide good services at an affordable rate. We try to be available when you need to talk to us and to explain your case in language that non-lawyers can understand.
We will usually have a first consultation with you to understand your problem and tell you how we can help. If there are things that must be dealt with before trial, such as obtaining more information from the Crown or getting your release conditions changed, we will tell you in advance how much that work is likely to cost.
If you have been arrested and are being held in remand pending trial, we can help you with your bail hearing. You have the right not to be denied bail without a good reason. We can help you with the bail application.
Sometimes in criminal cases it is necessary to get an expert to help you by giving evidence on a certain issue: for example, to reconstruct the scene of an accident or to prepare a report on cause and severity of injuries. Experts can help by giving their unbiased opinion on specific matters, which often helps to get you the best result.
