What is a defence lawyer in criminal cases?
A legal aid lawyer will assist victims and survivors in safeguarding their interests in connection with the criminal proceedings against the injured party or perpetrator.
A victim in the sense of the law is someone who has been subjected to abuse, for example a person who has been raped or injured in traffic by a grossly negligent driver.
We assist both during the investigation phase and during the main hearing. We file claims for damages where there is a basis for it.
It is important for us to provide the victim with good information during the case and to prepare them for the trial.
For many of the most serious criminal cases, the defence lawyer is appointed by the court, and the lawyer is paid by the government.
As a legal aid lawyer, you help people who are in a difficult situation. This requires the lawyer to have good personal qualities in addition to the necessary legal qualifications.
We spend plenty of time in our conversations with the aggrieved party and endeavour to be available if the client needs to speak to the lawyer during the process.
