Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases, when the police question you about a potential offence, you are only obligated to provide your name and address. If the police request it, you may also need to furnish proof of identity. However, before answering any additional questions, it’s advisable to request to speak with a lawyer. This precaution is crucial because anything you say can potentially be used against you, whether it’s recorded electronically or not. What you convey to the police during the early stages can significantly impact the outcome of your case. Therefore, it’s essential to seek legal advice promptly and before responding to any inquiries.
Yes – it is important to seek advice early from a lawyer when you are charged by the police. This is because for matters which may appear simple, there could still be serious consequences such as convictions being recorded or driving disqualification periods attached. If after speaking with you, and the matter is in fact simple, we can advise what the likely consequences will be if you self-represent, or if there are other options available to you to finish the matter, such as by way of online pleas of guilty to save time and legal fees.
Legal fees can be determined through various methods, including hourly rates or fixed fees. At the commencement of your case, we will furnish an estimate of the legal fees and can engage in further discussions with you to determine the most suitable approach for your specific circumstances. Other factors influencing legal fees encompass the nature of the charge, the court, your criminal history, your plea (guilty or not guilty), the volume of evidence, the requirement for expert testimony, and whether a barrister is engaged on your behalf. We recognise that the cost of legal representation is a practical consideration, and we aim to collaborate with you to reach an agreement regarding payment and timeframes while ensuring the quality of preparation for your case remains uncompromised.
When determining whether to record a conviction, the court takes several factors into account. These factors encompass the nature of the offense, your personal character and age, the potential economic and social consequences that might arise if a conviction is registered, and your prospects of securing future employment. To make a compelling case for not recording a conviction, it may be essential to compile evidence that you can present to the court. This evidence could include your employment contract or documentation illustrating compliance with industry registration prerequisites.
Rest assured, we will guide you through this entire process, providing expert advice and support to maximise your chances of avoiding a conviction.
