Criminal Law FAQs

Should I speak to a lawyer before talking to police?

Yes. You have the right to remain silent and to obtain legal advice before being interviewed. Speaking to a criminal lawyer first helps you avoid saying something that could harm your case.

How much does a criminal lawyer cost?

Costs depend on the seriousness of the charge and whether the matter is contested. Many firms offer a fixed fee for a guilty plea in the Local or Magistrates Court and a free initial consultation. Always ask for fees in writing.

Can I get legal aid for a criminal charge?

Legal aid may be available depending on your income, assets and the type of charge. If you do not qualify, many private firms offer payment plans. A lawyer can tell you quickly whether you are likely to be eligible.

How do I choose the right law firm in Australia?

Look for a firm with genuine experience in your specific type of matter, clear and upfront pricing, and strong client reviews. Most firms offer an initial consultation, which is a good chance to ask about their approach and likely costs.

Should I get a free initial consultation?

Many firms offer a free or low-cost first appointment. Use it to explain your situation, understand your options and get a sense of fees before committing. It is also a useful way to compare a few firms.
