What to look for when choosing a Criminal Law Firm in Sydney

Our video and Blog post below talks about What to look for when choosing a Criminal Law Firm in Sydney.

How to Choose a Criminal Lawyer

Have you been charged with an offence and are wondering what your next step should be?

The thought of hiring a lawyer has probably crossed your mind, but when it comes to picking a criminal law firm, Sydney has an abundance of criminal defence law firms and the process of selecting the best one may seem overwhelming.

So how can you make sure you pick the right one for you and what are the key things you should look for?

Picking up a phone book is unlikely going to be the best option, so it is important to do your research and find out what each firm can offer you.

Budget is probably going to be important to you, and it is important to make sure you don’t end up with legal costs that spiral out of control due to overcharging.

The services of lawyers are not known for coming cheap and unfortunately many firms are structured in a way that means they are focused on maximising profits and not on achieving client satisfaction.

Many lawyers may be pressured to take on more clients than they can manage and overcharging for their time in order to meet monthly billing targets.

This of course can add unethically to your bill as well as detracting from the quality of service you receive from your lawyer.

When you have a case pending, you need to know that the people handling it have expertise and experience in dealing with similar charges.

Check the firms and results to see how successfully they have dealt with cases similar to your’s.

It is important to choose a specialised lawyer because only they will know the best way to proceed with your case.

An experienced criminal lawyer can fight to have your case dropped even before it goes to trial, saving you time, money and stress.

Finally, client satisfaction extends further than just obtaining the best possible results in court – every year Legal Services

Commissioner receives hundreds of complaints from clients unhappy with the services they received from their lawyers, including overcharging.

Finding a law firm that is focused on dedicating the right amount of time to preparing your case and ensures good communication between lawyers and their clients is essential.
