Duress Defense Attroney: Protect Your Rights

Duress refers to situations where you have been forced to commit a crime against your will. To prove duress, there must be evidence that:

 

  • An actual threat was made, either express or implied e.g. via text message or a voicemail;
  • The threat was serious enough to justify your actions e.g. a death threat or threat of serious injury;
  • The threat must be acting on your mind at the time of the offence;
  • The threat was ‘continuing’ i.e. there was no way to stop it or alert police.

If the police have charged you or a loved one, you must attend court. Appearing in court for a criminal charge is usually daunting. Let us help you make the process easier. Here are 10 reasons to choose our team of criminal lawyers from Lyons Law Group;
