Criminal Law

Our criminal law department, which consists of 3 professional representatives with 20 years experience in criminal law, are available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. We are able to assist any client who is in need of personal assistance or advice relating to any type of criminal matter.

A criminal prosecution against a client is without any doubt a very stressful time in the life of our client. Our legal team works hand in hand with our client, assisting him/her at all times in dealing with the stress and coping during this very anxious period. A person arrested on criminal charges will be held in custody until bail is granted. In some instances the police may grant bail, in other instances it will be necessary to bring a formal bail application before a magistrate or judge. The conditions in the holding cells and jail are usually dreadful and we will attempt to secure the release of our client on bail as soon as possible.

A case is often postponed on a number of occasions before the actual trial proceeds. The State has to prove a case against our client beyond reasonable doubt. Failure to do so will result in our client being found not guilty.

Knowledge of the criminal justice system is an essential characteristic for any attorney representing a client accused of a crime. This is a speciality within the field of law which requires special skills and knowledge. Our team has decades of experience in criminal trials and we assist clients with any type of criminal trial, regardless of the charges against the client.
