If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing advice and representation in relation to an allegation of criminal conduct, you want to ensure you have the right lawyer defending your rights. Just the same as you do not phone a plumber to fix an electrical problem, you should not trust the defence of your case to anyone other than an accredited criminal law specialist.
