Together, we go beyond legal theory to explore what it actually means to navigate the system as a defendant, and the emotional cost it exacts not only on individuals, but on their families and communities.
Hesham shares insight into the role of a criminal defence lawyer, highlighting the vital importance of client support when individuals face one of the most traumatic experiences of their lives. From the shock of arrest to long delays in the courts, the legal process often places immense emotional strain on defendants and their families.
