The manufacturer of the products is required to ensure that its products are safe to use before supplying them to the general public. However, this does not always happen, and sometimes incidents can occur that lead to an injury for the consumer.

When making a claim for compensation, the injured person has the option of bringing their claim against the shop or retailer that sold the product, or, alternatively, a claim can be brought against the manufacturer or importer. If you have sustained an injury because of a defective product, other consumers may have had a similar experience, therefore it is important to report the defect and to pursue compensation in a timely manner.

What is an Attorney?

An attorney is someone who conducts business with an individual or an establishment.

They are agents of the law, assisting legal processes inside and outside of the court, as opposed to a lawyers’ duties that are only subjected to the court.

You must take note that your attorney can only represent you in court if he or she is a “defence attorney at law.” To become a certified defence attorney, they must have the same qualifications as a lawyer.

This is why lawyers and defence attorneys are often interchangeable.

The client and attorney’s relationship is also stated in the power of defence attorney document, which means defence attorneys can take different roles for you. They can support you in court while handling your legal documents outside of it at the same time.

Other duties of attorneys include prosecuting cases, advising clients, preparing contracts and other legal documents, etc.

An attorney may act on pleading and defending a case on your behalf.

Criminal Défense Attorney?

If you find yourself facing a criminal case, consulting a criminal defence attorney is the most recommended thing to do.

They will investigate the case, research facts, and offer legal advice to you where you will most benefit. They will also try to negotiate with the prosecutors by reducing your bail or even sentence.

Lawyer vs Attorney?

To summarize, attorneys and lawyers have studied and are both professionals in law.

They are similar in what they provide to their clients when it comes to legal proceedings.

The main difference is that not all lawyers can perform the duties of attorneys — which is conducting business outside the court.

The Difference Between a Défense Lawyer and a Trial Lawyer?

A short primer on these two kinds of attorney, how they work for their clients and how their specialisations set them apart from each other.

When someone is first charged with a crime, there is a long process between the initial charges and the possibility of a trial. In fact, very few cases ever make it to trial at all, between the possible resolutions like having a case dismissed, agreeing to a plea bargain with a prosecutor, or even outright dismissal of the charges based on something like a lack of evidence. As you can imagine, this means that most defence lawyers have an extensive amount of experience defending their clients in the lead-up to a trial, but do not have nearly as much experience standing up in court during a trial.

This is where a trial lawyer comes in.

In the United States and UK, there is nothing barring a defence lawyer from acting as a trial lawyer; in fact, there is nothing stopping a defendant from representing themselves through a trial, although this is actively discouraged.

If you are unable to afford private counsel, you will be given a public defender because having legal representation is very important in the UK and United States.

Take a look below to learn more about why trial lawyers are so important, and why they are different from a defence lawyer.

What is a Défense Attorney?

A defence attorney is a lawyer who focuses on representing a client who has been charged with a crime, beginning with their arraignment where the official charges are read. From the arraignment on, a defence attorney will be with their client every step of the way, and will advise them on entering a plea, making statements during the pre-trial proceedings, and ultimately crafting a path forward to a positive or favourable outcome for their client.

Défense attorneys will handle negotiations with prosecutors and the judge during the pre-trial process in an attempt to reach a plea deal that works for both the prosecution and the defence.

In instances of first offenses, this could be a combination of a reduced sentence combined with community service, fines, drug testing, therapy, and more. Ultimately, the goal of your defence lawyer is to avoid going to trial so that you can retain a say in the matter.

Once your case goes to trial, the outcome is entirely up to the judge and jury.

What Is a Trial Lawyer?

If your case needs to go to trial, meaning you have gone through every step of the pre-trial and have still been unable to reach a resolution, then the next step is the actual trial.

This will involve a variety of additional steps that many defence lawyers may never need to go through during their career, including jury selection, cross-examining witnesses, and communicating a clear and strong argument under the high pressure of the trial atmosphere.

A trial is so different from all of the prior pre-trial steps that in many countries, such as Britain, defence and trial lawyers are considered entirely different (known as solicitors and barristers in the UK).

While there is no legal distinction between a trial lawyer and a defence attorney in the United States, any legal professional will tell you that there is a significant difference in duties and expertise between the two fields.

Hiring the Right Legal Professional?

Given the fact that a defence attorney and a trial lawyer may be two different people for your case, it adds a new layer of complexity if you are preparing to go to trial. Luckily, trial lawyers are there to step into your case specifically for trial and can facilitate a hand-off or collaboration with your defence attorney so that they can step into court with as much information as possible, and a clear goal for an aggressive trial.

How are an Defence Attorney and Lawyer Different?

As you may have noticed, the terms lawyer and defence attorney are often used interchangeably. This might seem confusing to you, and you may be wondering whether it is appropriate to use both labels to refer to the same type of legal professional.                         

Now, traditionally, an defence attorney is a person that has graduated law school, passed the bar exam, and is licensed. A lawyer would be someone that has graduated law school but has not been admitted to practice.

Which is higher lawyer or attorney?

A lawyer is an individual who has earned a law degree or Juris Doctor (JD) from a law school. The person is educated in the law, but is not licensed to practice law in another state. An defence attorney is an individual who has a law degree and has been admitted to practice law in one or more states.

Are all lawyers defence attorneys?

It is helpful to remember that all defence attorneys are lawyers, but not all lawyers are defence attorneys. The major difference is that attorneys can represent clients in court and other legal proceedings, while lawyers cannot. 

Road Traffic Offences:

​At Elliott Services we understand that Road Traffic Law is very complex with far reaching consequences therefore have a dedicated team who specialise in this area, we are pro-active in fighting every clients cases often challenging technical evidence and presenting the best arguments avoiding fines, points or a disqualification.

​

We regularly represent professional drivers in relation to allegations made by the police in relation to driving allegations and also vehicle imperfections. 

​

​

Pre Court:

​If you are alleged to have committed a road traffic offence, the police have 6 months from the date of the offence to lay a charge against you. 

You will then be given an opportunity to attend a driver course if applicable or to accept a fixed penalty notice. If you do not accept either option or request a court hearing, you will receive a Single Justice Procedure letter from the court. 

It is important that you respond to the Single Justice Procedure letter.

This letter will be sent out to you notifying you that you are to be changed with an offence.

You will have 21 days to respond to this letter. If you fail to respond to this letter with a plea, you will be convicted of the offence in your absence and either sentenced or if you are likely to be disqualified then your sentence will be adjourned for you to make representations against a disqualification. 

​

It is important to ask for legal advice at the outset of your case, even at the roadside.

You have a right to have legal advice and the police will postpone any questioning if you request advice from a solicitor.

We can obtain the facts of the case and advice you if you have any defences available at law. 

​

Civil justice system;

Our recommendation for the introduction of a registrar in courts responsible for proactively case managing disputes and exercising devolved procedural functions is being realised through the role of “authorised court and tribunal staff” in the Courts and Tribunals (Judiciary and Functions of Staff Act) 2018.

civil justice work has been instrumental in shaping the structural changes to the civil courts and tribunal estate being undertaken through HM Court and Tribunals Reform Programme.

Our recent work has focused on ensuring people who are “digitally excluded” can access online justice and has considered and proposed innovative ways in which legal advice can be delivered. We are currently considering how the civil justice system can better resolve housing disputes.

Post Conviction: 

​In most driving cases points are awarded against the Licence. The accruement of 6 penalty points within the first two years of holding a driving licence can lead to the DVLA revoking that licence. If we are instructed at the outset we are able to make representations for alternative disposals such as driver courses being provided by the police. 

​

Even if you have held your licence over two years, the accruement of 12 penalty points over a period of three years can lead to a disqualification of a minimum of 6 months. If you require a driving licence for your work or personal reasons, we can make representations on your behalf to avoid a disqualification by arguing exceptional hardship apply in your case.

​

​We can provide advice, assistance and representation in the Youth, Magistrates, Crown and Court of Appeal.

​We have an approved panel of experts who can provide reports, in relation to all matters.

At Elliott Services we will ensure that no stone will be left unturned in your representation.

Why Should I Hire a Family Law Attorney:

                                                                                         (You Need and Deserve Support)

Family law cases are particularly challenging. You’re at odds with someone who is supposed to be on your side.

Tensions tend to run high. It doesn’t matter if you’re getting a divorce, trying to negotiate child support, or attempting to establish (or contest) paternity – it’s easy to get lost in a sea of emotions when you’re trying to navigate a family law matter.

Emotions can cloud your ability to think clearly and critically.

They can keep you from getting the end results you need.
