Criminal Law

If you have been charged with a criminal offence you should get legal advice as soon as you can, and before going to court. It is important to understand exactly what you are charged with including the matters that the prosecution has to prove, and whether there is any defence available to you. After your first conference with your lawyer, you will understand the penalties that can be imposed, how the system works, and what your options are.
