All persons accused of perpetrating a criminal offence are required by law to have legal representation. Therefore, if you are charged with a crime or are being investigated for supposed involvement in one, it’s indispensable that you get a lawyer. It may seem easier and safe to assume that the police will drop the charges if you tell them that you’re innocent, but this is rarely the case. For example, if your partner accuses you of domestic assault after incurring an injury, the police will arrive at the scene and most definitely arrest you after seeing the injury. Even if, in reality, you didn’t assault your partner, and they only called the police out of anger, pleading innocent might not suffice. In such a situation, having an experienced criminal defence lawyer will help protect your rights and fight the charges against you. Having a criminal defence lawyer, even when innocent, serves in your best interest. Contact us today, and we’ll defend you against any criminal charges.
