Kentville Lawyers for Injury and Criminal Cases

Kentville is the court town for the Annapolis Valley, which is why files from Wolfville, New Minas, Windsor and Berwick all end up on its list. Kentville lawyers at Mike Murphy Law Group handle injury claims and criminal charges for Kings County from the firm’s Halifax office, an hour east on Highway 101. Everything routine is done remotely, and when a Kentville sitting requires counsel at the table, counsel is at the table.

Kings County’s Courts Are on Cornwallis Street

The justice centre in Kentville hosts both the Provincial Court and the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia. Charges from Kentville, New Minas and the surrounding communities are called there, and Valley injury lawsuits are filed and tried there. Sittings are published on the Nova Scotia Courts site. One courthouse covers everything from first appearance to civil jury trial, so a Valley file stays in one building throughout.

What Kentville Lawyers Handle on the Injury Side

Two years is the general limitation period for a Nova Scotia injury claim under the Limitation of Actions Act, and the limitation period is checked on day one, not near the end. Valley Regional Hospital in Kentville holds most of the treatment records a local claim depends on. A car accident file starts with the accident benefits in your own policy and, almost always, an insurer arguing the minor injury cap. Whether the cap actually applies to your injuries is a fight worth having. Orchard and farm work adds seasonal income patterns, so income loss is documented with more than a single year’s tax return.

Criminal Files From the Kentville Docket

Kentville has its own municipal police service, one of the few remaining in the province, and the RCMP has jurisdiction over the county around it. Release conditions are dealt with fast, because a driving prohibition or a no-go order in a county this spread out can cost a job before the charge is ever tried. The impaired driving (DUI) and assault pages cover Nova Scotia practice on those charges.

Everything Between the Court Dates Runs From Kings County

The file is run from the Halifax office, and counsel attends the Kentville justice centre on the dates that need a lawyer at the table. Everything between court dates is handled by phone and email from Kings County. Contact the firm or call.
