At Australian Criminal and Family Lawyers, we recognise that occasionally clients require a criminal attorney after hours.
This is because arrests and detentions might occur at odd times of the day when most criminal defense lawyers are not available.
To provide urgent criminal law counsel, our Sydney criminal law firm has a 24-Hour Criminal Lawyer Hotline open 7 days a week.
Regardless of the hour or day, our 24-hour criminal attorneys offer immediate legal counsel to people who have been arrested. This is due to the fact that having professional criminal legal assistance at the onset of your interactions with the police might significantly alter the outcome of your case.
The rights and liberties of the accused are immediately protected by our criminal lawyers, available around the clock.
Why is it essential to have a 24-hour criminal lawyer?
The New South Wales Police do not, even though most businesses are open during regular business hours for obvious reasons.
This implies that people can be detained on the weekends and at the end of the day. Unfortunately, during these moments, people make judgments without seeking the opinion of a criminal defence attorney that might subsequently affect their criminal case.
Obtaining legal counsel from a 24-hour criminal attorney will guarantee that:
1) The accused is aware of their legal rights and responsibilities when speaking with the police.
2) They are not misled or deceived about the necessity of participating in a statement or interview.
3) Their position and orders are fully disclosed to the police through their criminal attorney, eliminating any possibility that they were not told.
4) A protest can be made against the police taking photographs, DNA samples, or the subject's fingerprints if required.
5) That the police be made aware of the person's bail status and any possible restrictions that may be imposed to guarantee the person's release.
6) The defendant's criminal defense attorneys inform the police of the necessity to preserve any evidence, such as CCTV, that could support the defendant's defence under the statute.
7) The defendant's family may also be contacted by our 24-hour criminal attorneys, who may make arrangements for an instant bail application on the defendant's behalf.
Receiving counsel from a 24-hour criminal attorney concerning the aforementioned issues can occasionally be so important that it may affect whether or not the people who have been arrested will be allowed bail and their capacity to fight the charges down the road.
How much will the 24-hour Criminal Lawyer Hotline cost me?
We understand that getting detained is a painful event and that most individuals are unable to access money or their finances at Australian Criminal and Family Lawyers.
As a result, we provide our 24-hour Criminal Lawyer Sydney Hotline completely free of charge as a result of this. There are zero commitments of any kind.
How do I remember the name and number of the 24-hour Sydney Criminal Lawyer Hotline?
Unfortunately, most detained people either do not have access to their cell phones or do not want to provide the police with their pin codes so they can get the phone number of their attorney.
In certain cases, this prevents individuals from getting the immediate criminal legal guidance they need.
Therefore, we decided to streamline this procedure using the 1300SILENT idea. There is just one word left to remember: "SILENT."
1) Remember that you have the right to be "SILENT." You should generally wait to provide any statement or take part in an interview until you've spoken with a Sydney criminal lawyer.
2) To talk with a Sydney criminal lawyer 24 hours a day, dial "1300SILENT."
Since it is the most crucial term to remember while interacting with the police in criminal law matters, we picked the word "SILENT."
Despite their trust in the police, those detained nearly always have no responsibility to answer their queries.
Although the police often try to get the subject to participate in an interview by acting like a "nice cop," most of the time, the police are there to try and obtain as much evidence against the person as possible.
This is so that authorities cannot lawfully detain someone to conduct an investigation or interview them. If someone has been arrested, it usually means that the police plan to charge them with a crime, and they will do so whether or not the subject gives them an interview.
Therefore, the interview's primary goal is to gather as much evidence as possible against the subject to support the police case.
In general, we advise individuals to wait to speak with a skilled Sydney criminal lawyer before giving police interviews or statements.
Why should I not participate in an interview with the police before talking to a Sydney criminal lawyer?
Although the majority of people have the unquestioned belief that if someone is innocent, they shouldn't have to worry about attending an interview, that belief is in no way correct.
This is because, during police interrogation, the police frequently ask incorrect and inappropriate questions. These inquiries can occasionally be challenging to understand and may imply or insinuate information unclear to the accused.
In other cases, the accused feels compelled to agree out of social propriety or in the belief that by doing so, the police would be regarded more favorably owing to shock, terror, and the way the questions are phrased, even if the accused does not comprehend the question. This is particularly typical among Aboriginal people.
An accused individual should offer their side of the story or version of events in a courtroom where the law is in effect and are given a fair chance to do so.
