Many clients come to us from other firms who have told them that their case shouldn’t or won’t reach a court room and that it will be “dropped” however, the people who get to make this decision are not your lawyers.
Our service pledge is that our advice will always be honest and relistic, it is only with this advice we and our client can properly work together to challenge the allegations made against them and get the best results at the earliest oppotunity.
There are various factors that can impact the length of time it takes for a case to conclude or to reach court, such as; police forensic and court backlogs, the complexities of the case, and the nature of the allegations.
At Eventum Legal we understand the worry and stress of waiting for outcomes during in criminal proceedings and believe that no matter how long the wait is you should always be informed and know exactly what is going on and what to expect. Contact us to discuss the circumstances of your case and our lawyers may be able to provide you with some guidance as to likely time frames and what what may happen next in your case.
The only way in which you may recieve costs back is if we successfully obtain a Defence Costs Order from the court at the conclusion of your case, this can be subject to various factors and we can discuss those with you.
We appreciate the money that clients pay to finance their representation, and we have at the forefront of our minds the possibility of obtaining a proportion of this back for clients where we can.
