Criminal Defence & Traffic Law
Being arrested or charged with a criminal, traffic, drug or fraud offence can definitely be a stressful time. We at HERE Legal understand that people often feel they are just another number or case in the system. People often feel chained and stigmatised to the offences alleged against them. We are here to defend and define you as not just another case, number or offender...but as someone. We understand that Criminal charges are indeed life changing events with burdensome and serious consequences, no matter how seemingly minor they may appear. We know the best results matter to you.
Legal advice and representation are necessary even for seemingly minor charges. We encourage that if you are arrested or have been charged by the Police, do provide your name, address and contact details to the police but do not take part in an interview until you have spoken to us. We are HERE for you at all stages of any criminal investigation or charges should you require our services.
