The Importance of Immediate Legal Representation in Assault Cases in Surrey

If you are accused of a criminal offence in Surrey or elsewhere in Canada, immediate legal representation is critical. In today’s blog, we are going to list some of the reasons why you need a lawyer as soon as possible.

Your Side

Your lawyer is on your side. Your lawyer is your advocate and is going to do everything possible to defend you. You need your lawyer to help you navigate the justice system, and you will have a much better outcome with a lawyer on your side than without one.

Investigation

Your lawyer is going to investigate your case and figure out not just what evidence can help or exonerate you but what evidence the Crown may use or try to use. The lawyer will have resources not available to you, alone, to find information.

Strategy

Your lawyer will devise a strategy for your defence to get the best possible outcome. You lawyer will try to get your charges minimized or thrown out, and if neither of those things are possible, you lawyer will try to get any potential penalties reduced.

Court and Beyond

The lawyer will not only represent you in court, but also negotiate with prosecutors and help you afterwards with an appeal if one is needed. Your lawyer can also help you with your bail hearing so you do not have to wait in jail for your trial.

A criminal defence lawyer understands the ins and outs of criminal law and criminal procedure. Whether you are in Surrey or elsewhere in British Columbia or Canada, hire a criminal defence lawyer as soon as possible if you are arrested or charged with a crime. And do not make any statements to the police before consulting your lawyer.
