Do you need a criminal lawyer?

Having an experienced criminal lawyer prepare your defence can make a difference to the outcome of your case.

If you contemplate going alone and representing yourself, you may not know what questions to ask, what your rights are, what evidence you need to present, or what points of law you need to refer to.

Our criminal lawyers understand how the law works, and how the police and courts operate.
