Violent Crimes

If you are under suspicion of a violent offence such as assault, robbery or battery, you would most likely be better off obtaining some legal advice from a trained professional at the earliest possible chance you get.

For aggravated violent offences such as where the motive is financial or vengeance, you may be detained in police custody for the maximum of twenty days until you are prosecuted or released.

Retaining a lawyer can have its benefits such as being given the opportunity to consult with a lawyer every time you undergo a police interview. A representing attorney has the rights to see his client – you, at any time of day for a long period of time in most cases. Even where you are denied access to a telephone or to see your visiting family, you will still be able to request your representing attorney to come and see you for a private consultation.

Gaining your trust is therefore something we take care to do at the early stages of taking on your case. You will be able to confide in us your utmost worries and concerns without having to doubt our loyalty to you.
