Edmundston Lawyers for Injury and Criminal Cases

Edmundston lawyers from Mike Murphy Law Group handle injury claims and criminal charges from the city. The nearest office is the Moncton office, at the far end of Route 2. The first call is free and a lawyer takes it. The file then runs by phone and video, with counsel present in Edmundston when a hearing demands it. Everything can be done in French.

Edmundston Keeps Its Own Courts

The Provincial Court of New Brunswick sits in Edmundston, and the city anchors its own Court of King’s Bench judicial district, so neither a charge nor a lawsuit from Madawaska County means travelling downriver. Sitting information is published by the Courts of New Brunswick. Proceedings run in French where you elect it, which for most of our Edmundston clients is exactly how the file should run.

Injury Claims From Madawaska County

Two years is the limitation period for most New Brunswick injury claims, and we fix the start date on the first call. The Edmundston Regional Hospital supplies most treatment records, with your consent doing the asking. Claims for injured forestry and mill workers often run beside workers’ compensation, and we sort out which route pays what before anything gets signed. Winter drives the caseload here: a snowmobile accident on the Madawaska trail network raises different insurance questions than a highway crash, starting with whose policy responds at all.

What Edmundston Lawyers See in Criminal Files

Edmundston runs its own municipal police force instead of the RCMP. The border crossing to Madawaska, Maine adds a complication the rest of the province rarely faces: a conviction can bar you from crossing, because United States admissibility rules treat many Canadian records harshly. That risk gets weighed before any plea, and it is one reason a discharge or a withdrawal is preferable here to a light sentence. The risk matters most on impaired driving (DUI) and drug charges files.

No Trip to Moncton Required

In practice, clients from Madawaska County never need to visit an office. Documents are signed electronically and every meeting can be a video call, in either language, so a file three and a half hours away moves as quickly as one next door. Counsel appears in Edmundston for the sittings. Contact the firm or call.
