Criminal Trials

Criminal trial preparation and representation

A criminal trial is built from the charge, disclosed evidence, admissibility questions and the instructions given by the accused. Court dates and bail conditions must be observed throughout.

What clients usually ask

What should I bring to a consultation?

The usual first steps

  1. Review the charge and available case material.
  2. Identify factual and legal issues for plea and evidence.
  3. Prepare witnesses, exhibits and the trial strategy.

What to bring

Bring the agreement, court papers, notices, messages, dates and records that show what happened. Preserve original documents and electronic evidence without altering them.
