If you've been arrested, it's important to remain calm and exercise your right to speak with a legal representative. It is not uncommon for people to want to tell their side immediately when asked, however you should avoid doing so unless and until you have spoke with a lawyer. Nowadays, most people either know a lawyer or know someone who knows a lawyer. Alternatively, they rely on Google to provide recommendations for legal advice. However you choose to navigate through the arrest process, it is imperative that you have the support of a lawyer to work through the process with you. We offer immediate assistance to anyone in need of support through this process and are ready to help 24/7.
The consequences of a criminal conviction can vary widely depending on the nature and severity of the offence. Generally a conviction is accompanied by a form of punishment which could include a fine, conditions including community service, or imprisonment. Aside for any court imposed penalty, a lot of people express concern regarding the effect of a conviction on their employment, future opportunities, travel or applications for residency. It is important that your lawyer understands what is most important to you when developing a considered and efficient approach to your case.
Even if you’re innocent, it’s essential to have a lawyer by your side. Navigating the legal system can be complex and, for most, a foreign experience. Engaging a lawyer will ensure that your rights are protected throughout the process. We’ll work diligently to tell your side to the story and provide the right advice and support throughout this challenging time.
The duration of a criminal case can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the nature of the charge/s, and how you ultimately decide to proceed after having received legal advice. Often a quick solution isn’t always the best way to achieve your desired outcome. It is important to speak with one of our lawyers to receive a strategy session which will assist in understanding realistic timelines and provide an individualised assessment for your case.
