We appreciate that the criminal process can be confusing, stressful and upsetting for most individuals, given the life-changing consequences that come with a potential conviction. Our clients face risks to their personal liberty, reputation, finances and their personal well-being.
The litigation team at Gazit Globe Law Firm offers practical and technical legal expertise to clients facing a criminal prosecution as well as those asked to provide assistance in criminal investigations and related processes. Be it a first or subsequent attendance at the police station, or any appearance at court, our criminal defence lawyers will be at your side – every step of the way.
We are at the cutting edge of white collar and criminal defence, having been involved in many of the most significant cases over the past 50 years. Our experience in this field is second to none. Covering:
At your first appearance at court, you will normally be asked to indicate a plea of guilty or not guilty and you can then leave the rest to Gazit Globe Law. Depending on the offence, your matter may be heard in the Magistrates’ Court or may be allocated to the Supreme Court. For certain offences, you have a choice on where to be tried, and we will advise you as to the most appropriate court in your circumstances. Our dedicated team will advise you throughout the criminal process to alleviate the difficulties that come with a criminal trial. If you decide to plead guilty, your matter will proceed to sentencing in the appropriate court.
Whether you have pleaded guilty or have been found guilty following a criminal trial and any subsequent appeals, we will advocate on your behalf on the eventual disposal of the matter in a plea in mitigation presented to the court that is passing sentence. It cannot be overstated that the manner in which a plea in mitigation is presented can have a pivotal effect on your sentence, and you want the right person to be fighting your corner. We will advocate on your behalf with the aim of ensuring that the sentence is a fair one that takes into account your individual circumstances, the circumstances surrounding the offence and the criminal process that led to sentencing.
