How a criminal lawyer helps

Criminal defence isn’t just about appearances in court. A criminal lawyer acting for you may:

• Help you understand the charges and potential consequences
• Advise you whether to answer police questions or exercise your right to silence
• Assist with bail applications
• Gather evidence, liaise with investigators, request prosecution material (for example police statements, CCTV, forensic reports)
• Advise on plea negotiations or diversion options where available
• Represent you in court or sentencing proceedings
• Prepare submissions, mitigation material, or appeal arguments where required

The goal is to protect your rights, preserve your future, and secure the best possible outcome.
