I do not provide free consultations to people who want me to help them win their court case. What happens at a free consultation? At a free consultation lawyers generally do the following: obtain your contact details, ascertain what charges you are facing (without analysing the charges), read the summary of facts alleged against you (if it has been provided), listen to you explain your version of what happened at the time of the offence, listen to you explain why you think the law is unfair, listen to you explain why you think the court should give you a break, encourage you to believe that fighting the charges is a waste of time, encourage you to believe that pleading guilty is the only practical thing you can do, tell you that pleading guilty will somehow make things better for you, tell you that a lawyer is required to help you to plead guilty, claim that they are the best lawyer to save you from jail, explain to you the costs of legal representation, sign a fee agreement with you, arrange for payment of fees, obtain information required to present the plea of guilty, advise you what you need to do to ensure the plea of guilty proceeds smoothly, spend 60 seconds explaining what will happen at court, tell you what sort of penalty you should expect, arrange a suitable date for the plea of guilty to take place. What does NOT happen at a free consultation? At a free consultation lawyers generally do NOT do any of the following: obtain and read the police brief (containing the police evidence) in detail, use years of skill and experience defending traffic cases to find a defence to your charges, obtain from the police a copy of the police brief (including all the witness statements),  read it in full and find a defence within it, check the charge and summons for defects, check to see if all provisions of the Magistrates Court Act have been complied with, inspect the court file, check to see whether all steps taken by the police are lawful, provide you with advice as to how you can win your case, advise you why pleading not guilty is often in your best interets, tell you whether an expert witness can help you to win your case, research points of law that could result in your acquittal,   rely on years of winning traffic cases, and winning Supreme Court appeals, to map out for you a strategy for success, negotiate with the police to have some or all charges dropped, negotiate with the police to reduce the severity of charges, negotiate with the police to amend the summary of facts that will be alleged in court, give any consideration at all to the fact that every defendant in every case has a chance of being acquitted,  develop a strategy to improve your situation and to avoid the penalties and consequences that follow from pleading guilty.
