FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
* WHAT IS A CRIMINAL DEFENCE LAWYER?
A criminal defence lawyer is a legal practitioner who represents the
interests of those accused of criminal offences by government agencies such
as state and federal police forces, Offices of the Director of Public or the
Roads and Maritime Service.
* WHAT IS A TRAFFIC LAWYER?
A traffic lawyer is a defence lawyer with specialist experience in
representing those accused of driving and other road-related offences such as
drink or drug driving, driving whilst disqualified, speeding and red light
cameras by state agencies such as the police or Roads and Maritime Service.
* HOW CAN I FIND THE BEST CRIMINAL LAWYER?
There are many factors to consider when looking for the best criminal lawyer
and law firm for your case, including whether they:
1. Are certified by the Law Society of New South Wale as Accredited Criminal
Law Specialists,
2. Specialise exclusively in criminal defence,
3. Have been established for a long time and have lawyers who are vastly
experienced in criminal law,
4. Have a long and proven track record of producing outstanding outcomes for
clients,
5. Regularly receive awards for high–quality legal work and exceptional
client service,
6. Have a strong track record of positive client reviews, and
7. Have transparent fee structures, such as fixed fees.
Be wary of firms who advertise percentages of ‘success’ or guarantee results,
as these claims can be misleading and are seldom substantiated.
Take your time – choosing the right lawyer is an important decision that can
make all the difference to the outcome of your case.
* HOW MUCH DOES A CRIMINAL LAWYER COST?
The price for a criminal defence lawyer will depend on several factors,
including whether the case is undertaken on a fixed fee basis or an hourly
rate, as well as whether the lawyer specialises exclusively in criminal law,
their years of experience doing so and whether they have been certified as
Accredited Criminal Law Specialists.
Fixed fee court representation in criminal cases will normally start from
around $2000 + GST for a specialist criminal defence lawyer, and hourly rates
will normally range from $300 + GST for a junior criminal lawyer up to $600 +
GST or more for an Accredited Criminal Law Specialist, who are generally
regarded as the very best criminal lawyers in the state.
* HOW CAN I GET A FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A CRIMINAL LAWYER?
You can get a free first appointment with a criminal lawyer by checking on
the firm’s website whether these are offered, or by calling or emailing the
law firm and asking.
A first appointment is a way to obtain advice about your case, your options
and the best way forward, as well as to determine whether the lawyer and law
firm you are seeing are right for you.
First appointments should always be obligation-free, meaning you should never
be or even feel forced to engage the lawyer or law firm for your case.
* WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I’M ACCUSED OF A CRIMINAL OFFENCE?
If you are facing allegations of having committed a criminal offence, it is
extremely important to contact a criminal defence lawyer right away because
they are there to protect you and your interests, whereas those who are
prosecuting you have interests that are not aligned with yours.
A specialist criminal lawyer will have the knowledge and experience to advise
you about where you stand, your options and the best way forward.
* WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I’M ACCUSED OF A TRAFFIC OFFENCE?
If you are going to court for a traffic offence or have received a penalty
notice (fine), it is very important to consult a defence lawyer who is
experienced in driving cases as they will be able to advise you of the right
steps to take in order to achieve the optimal outcome in the circumstances.
Several law firms who are experienced in traffic law cases will offer free
first conferences to those who are going to court.
