Why do I need a criminal lawyer?

A criminal lawyer is your mouthpiece both in and out of court when talking to Judges, prosecutors, witnesses, media and police officers. They protect your rights, advise and guide you through criminal proceedings, fight to get charges dropped by negotiations and fierce representation in court. They also carefully review the police evidence, find inconsistencies in them, and strengthen your defence, all to maximise your chances at getting the best possible result.
