Do you need a defence lawyer for a matter you have coming up in Court? Defence lawyers can appear in all types of criminal matters.
Criminal charges are not limited to offences such as major fraud, murder and robbery. Lesser crimes, known as summary offences, are fairly commonplace. When you are arrested, and regardless of what type of charge you are being arrested for (major or more minor) you should ideally seek legal advice immediately. Bur what if you have already been charged with an offence? Hiring a good defence lawyer could be vital. Maybe you have already decided on whether to plead guilty or not guilty. But do you really know what would be in your best interests in this regard?
A criminal lawyer can discuss with you whether you should plead guilty or not guilty, and generally help you get the best possible outcome. Can you represent yourself? Certainly. There is nothing to prevent you from doing so. Should you represent yourself? Unless you really have a good grasp of the law, and Court procedure, you would do well to retain a criminal solicitor Sydney with the knowledge and expertise to ensure that all factors are fully considered.
What do you need to look for in a good criminal solicitor Sydney? Check for their credentials and experience. There are lawyers fresh out of law school who may do an adequate job, but they also don’t have the know-how that only experience can bring. It is not just the knowledge of the law and practise, but the confidence and authority that only an experienced solicitor has that you should look for.
