Amherst Lawyers for Injury and Criminal Cases

Amherst sits on the Nova Scotia side of the border, and Amherst lawyers from Mike Murphy Law Group act for people on both sides of it. Injury claims and criminal charges from Cumberland County both start with a free call taken by a lawyer.

Cumberland County Matters Are Heard in Amherst

The Provincial Court is located in Amherst, and the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia holds sittings there for Cumberland County’s civil and criminal work, so a Cumberland County file runs from first appearance to trial in that one building. The Nova Scotia Courts site carries the locations and schedules.

Injury Claims Amherst Lawyers Bring From Cumberland County

Nova Scotia’s limitation statute allows two years for most injury claims, measured under rules the firm confirms at intake. The Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre outside Amherst supplies the core medical records, alongside your family doctor’s chart. Cumberland’s trail network produces snowmobile accident claims, which raise insurance and landowner questions that call for early investigation. If treatment took you over the border to a Moncton hospital, those records are collected under the same consents, and the two provinces’ custodians use different forms.

Criminal Charges at the Amherst Court

The Amherst Police Department polices the town and the RCMP covers the county. A border town adds one complication: conduct alleged on the New Brunswick side is prosecuted in New Brunswick, and this firm appears in both provinces, so a file that crosses the Missaguash does not need a second lawyer. What the Crown discloses decides how a charge is answered, and nothing is answered before it arrives. The firm also defends Nova Scotia drug charges and theft prosecutions.

How an Amherst File Works
