    The cost of engaging a criminal lawyer can vary depending on the complexity of your case, the seriousness of the charges, and the time involved. we generally offer a fixed-fee arrangement once zarah has fully reviewed the brief of evidence and assessed the scope of work required. this approach gives you clarity and certainty about your legal costs from the outside.

    03 Can I avoid a criminal record?

    Yes, in certain cases it is possible to avoid a criminal conviction altogether. One way to achieve this is through legal avenues such as a Diversion program, which can allow eligible individuals to resolve their matter without having a formal conviction recorded against them, However, every case is unique, and whether a Diversion or another favourable disposition is available depends on the specific circumstances and evidence involved.
