At Hussein Afolabi and Associates, we have a decade experience in criminal defense and are very proud that none of our criminal cases have ever resulted into a guilty verdict. Our firm comprises of exceptionally skilled criminal defense attorneys. Our lawyers have handled various criminal matters ranging from minor misdemeanors to major capital offences. We have represented clients who have been charged with unlawful possession of firearms contrary to the provision of firearms act, manslaughter, and other capital offences. We have also represented clients charged with various financial improprieties by the anti-graft agencies – EFCC and ICPC. We are exceptionally skilled at identifying every loop-hole and weakness in the prosecution’s case. We put the prosecution to the strict proof of each and every piece of evidence and routinely apply to exclude evidence that is not properly obtained and presented to the court. In criminal law the onus is on the prosecution to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, so we are not required to prove the innocence of our clients. We usually advise that it is vital that our clients exercise their constitutional rights to remain silent. Remaining silent does not imply guilt. It is your right. You do not have to answer any questions. Because your own words may ultimately be used against you in court, we always advise that it is important to speak to a lawyer prior to any dealings with the police.
