If you need help because you have been the victim of a crime, our Attorneys can be assigned to you – at no cost to you – as a legal aid Attorney during the criminal proceedings, in order to seek compensation and otherwise assist you as a support person during the proceedings.
We help in criminal law cases by:
- Reviewing and discussing the case file with you
- Assisting you during questioning by the police
- Assessing the need for any further evidence
- Defending you in court
- Assessing and initiating an appeal, if appropriate.
- As your legal counsel, preparing a statement of compensation, guiding you on the progress of the case in court, and – if you are summoned to give evidence in court – appearing with you in court as a support person.
