Local Planning Notes
Snelgrove criminal defence should begin with family-contact conditions, driving restrictions, and the evidence needed to understand the allegation.
Driving restrictions may affect work
Licence status, release terms, vehicle access, insurance, and commuting needs should be checked before driving.
Evidence should be saved privately
Messages, call logs, photos, videos, receipts, location records, and witness names can help legal review.

Common Questions
Criminal law questions Snelgrove clients often ask.
Can Snelgrove clients contact family if conditions restrict contact?
Only if the wording allows it or the condition is properly changed. Do not rely on informal permission.
What if I need my vehicle for work?
Review licence status, release terms, and any suspension before driving or making work commitments.
Should I talk to witnesses?
Get legal advice first. Witness contact can create problems, especially if conditions restrict communication.
