Do I still need a lawyer if I plan to plead guilty?

Yes. Even if you plan to plead guilty, a skilled criminal lawyer can help ensure your rights are protected and may even be able to work to minimize penalties.

How long will my case take?
This depends on several factors, including the types of charges, the court schedule, and whether the case goes to trial. Some cases can be resolved quickly, while others can take several months.
At what point should I hire a criminal lawyer?
Immediately. The sooner you secure legal representation, the better you are able to protect your rights and build a strong defence. In an ideal situation, you would hire a criminal lawyer before speaking to police or going to court.
What is your approach to defending a client?
We treat every case with the tailored attention it deserves. Our process typically involves reviewing all evidence, working to identify potential procedural errors or rights violations, negotiating when it benefits our client, and defending our clients aggressively in court when needed.
How will I know what is going on with my case?
We provide regular updates throughout the case, and we are always here to answer your questions. We know the importance of keeping our clients informed and involved.
