Understanding Your Rights During a Criminal Investigation
Understanding the costs associated with legal representation is important. At Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates, we believe in transparent fee structures for our criminal defence services. Our fees are competitive and reflect the complexity of the case, the expertise required, and the time dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome. For initial consultations and case assessments, we typically charge a nominal fee of around KES 5,000 - KES 10,000, depending on the preliminary scope. For ongoing representation, retainer agreements are established, detailing hourly rates or a fixed fee for specific stages of the legal process. These can range from KES 20,000 to KES 100,000+ depending on the severity of the charges and anticipated court appearances. We are happy to discuss these details during your initial consultation at our offices at Ciata Mall, Ridgeways, Kiambu Road.
Navigating the Criminal Court Process & Legal Requirements
The Kenyan criminal justice system involves several stages, from investigation and arrest to arraignment, pre-trial, and trial. Understanding the legal requirements at each step is vital. Following an arrest, an accused person is typically presented before a Magistrate within 24 hours, as stipulated by law. This is often for the purposes of an application for bond or bail, where the prosecution may seek to hold the accused, while the defence argues for release. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates meticulously prepares documentation for bail applications, including affidavits and supporting evidence, to present compelling arguments to the courts, such as those located at the Kiambu Law Courts. We also guide clients through the disclosure process, ensuring all evidence is properly handled and presented. Our team’s deep familiarity with the procedures at institutions like the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) ensures a smooth and effective handling of your case.
