Both the law and the legal process can be complicated and overwhelming for anyone who does not have any legal training or education. A competent criminal defence lawyer will be in a position to provide you with legal advice and assist you in navigating through the criminal justice system, while at all times advocating on your behalf and working towards achieving the best possible result with respect to the offence(s) for which you have been charged. Being charged with a criminal offence is a very serious matter, and one that can have significant implications with respect not only to your liberty, but also with regards to current and future employment, your ability to travel and enter other countries, as well as other aspects of your personal life. A criminal defence lawyer can ensure that you are afforded every right for which our laws entitle you to, and that your rights are protected at every stage, beginning when you first have contact with the police.
