Need A Criminal Lawyer In Adelaide
You are within reach of ORB Lawyers on 8384 3430.
Nobody wants to hire a criminal lawyer Adelaide – some describe it like visiting the dentist after a long absence- but a good lawyer may sometimes advise you that you don’t need a lawyer at all and that there is an alternative. At times however and whether we like it or not there are certain events which need expert advice that lawyers such as those at ORB Lawyers can, will and do provide.
Knowing your rights and obligations could save you from perhaps a larger fine or even keep you out of jail. If your matter involves court appearances at the Adelaide Magistrates Court, the Christies Beach Magistrates Court or the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court perhaps the Family Court, the District Court or Supreme Court, then you should have a lawyer experienced in cases that are heard in these Courts.
What To Do When You Are Being Investigated For A Criminal Offence.

You DO NOT have the right to remain completely silent.
You DO NOT have to answer any questions related to the alleged offence but, if the alleged offence deals with sexual matters involving a child or children, the police may also require you to tell them any place or places where you work.
