    This area covers the rights a person has in criminal proceedings, including the right to a fair trial, access to legal advice, and protections against police powers. It explains what a solicitor does to safeguard those rights, from arranging representation and guiding bail decisions to challenging evidence, ensuring proper disclosure, and supporting the person through custody, court appearances, and any appeals.

    “Leanne helped me through the process from the beginning. I initially made contact and she took the case on board with me. She then initiated and took over the communications with the interviewer and organising dates for my interview. During this time she stayed composed with pure professionalism and replied to any worries and queries I had leading up to towards my interview date. On the day of my interview, she briefed me on the case and gave me precise legal advise which helped during the process. She showed empathy and expressed great communication and interpersonal skills. She was also quick to correct and ensure the interview stayed on course when the interviewer outlined irrelevant false statements. After the interview she also graced me with other advice based on situations surrounding the case. I know she didn't need to give me such advice but I am nonetheless grateful for her expertise and support! Thank you, Leanne! ”
