A criminal lawyer can help you decide what to do next
Being contacted by investigators can be unsettling. You do not need to know every legal term before asking for help.
A summons, search or accusation may require a different response. We can review the document you received, explain your position and help you prepare for questioning or a court hearing. Keep the original paperwork and tell us about any date or deadline.
What your lawyer will check first
Clarify procedural status and the authority involved
Protect access to counsel, silence and interpretation where applicable
Review the prosecution material and identify defence evidence
Prepare for the next investigative or court decision
What to expect when you contact us
Start with a short account of what happened and any known deadline. Before agreeing to act, we check conflicts and availability and explain the proposed work, fees and communication arrangements. Ask us who will handle your matter and what the next step involves.
