No two cases are the same, but these are the expectations for most clients when dealing with Lumme Rynderman Legal:  

  1. Your initial client phone call made to our criminal law firm, or your initial online enquiry sent through, is met with a timely appointment (either made by telephone or in person depending upon the urgency of your matter).
  2. You’ll then have a brief conversation with a defence solicitor to ascertain your needs, including a discussion of legal defence funding options:
    1. Private representation
      1. Agreement on fee structure
      2. Signing of Costs Agreement
      3. Deposit of funds to trust account
    2. Legal aid;
      1. Provision of relevant financial documentation
      2. Application for grant of Legal Aid
  3. Once funding is sorted, we’ll then schedule a face-to-face appointment at our Sunshine Coast law firm with your defence solicitor where the following will be discussed:
    1. Clarification of legal issues
    2. Advice regarding relevant legal principles
    3. Advice regarding legal process
    4. Discussion of options available
    5. Clarification of your instructions
  4. We attend your Court date with you.
  5. Your criminal defence solicitor will then begin preparations for your trial, sentence, or committal.

From here on out it gets a little more complicated as no two legal matters are the same. Our criminal law solicitors strive to communicate with our clients (usually by letter or email) throughout the process, including after each Court appearance.

 

Can’t Afford a Criminal Defence Lawyer? Legal Aid can Help.

Our Sunshine Coast criminal defence law firm is a “preferred supplier” of Legal Aid services. If you are charged with a criminal offence and you are unable to afford a defence criminal lawyer, you can apply for Legal Aid to allocate you a lawyer.

You can either lodge your application directly with Legal Aid, or through our firm.

If your application is approved, and Legal Aid appoints us, our criminal law firm then represents you as required, while deferring to Legal Aid to cover your fee payment.

Ready to get started with the right advice?

The advice that you're given can greatly affect your human rights. The timeliness of this advice is equally important.
Contacting our criminal law solicitors at the earliest opportunity is critical. Don't wait until after the Police have finished executing their search warrant or have arrested you.
The Police have just told you that you have the right to contact a friend, relative or lawyer because you should do that.
