What to expect from CDQ

The first thing to do if you have been arrested, or think you will be arrested, is to try and contact a solicitor.  At CDQ, we understand the seriousness of being charged and can guide you through what is a difficult and stressful experience.  Over the years we have gained significant experience in defending clients in a wide range of areas, including those who have been charged with:

  • Murder
  • Manslaughter
  • Fraud
  • Serious Assault
  • Malicious Damage
  • Drug Charges (possess, manufacture, trafficking)

Our lawyers have developed a comprehensive knowledge of the Court system and how best to represent you in your case. In addition to providing general advice in your case, they can:

  • Attend the police station with you (if they think it is in your best interests)
  • Advise you on your rights including what you should, and should not, do or say while in custody
  • Apply for bail on your behalf
  • Represent you in Court
  • Liaise with barristers as required
