HOW TO USE THIS

Different strengths.
One short list.

If detained, ask to speak privately with a lawyer and use the official arrest or duty-counsel service where appropriate. Before retaining private counsel, identify who owns the file, who attends bail, motions and trial, whether Legal Aid is accepted, and what the written fee includes through the expected stage.
