Miramichi Lawyers for Injury and Criminal Files

Mike Murphy Law Group acts on injury claims and criminal charges from Miramichi, and the Miramichi lawyers who carry them work from the Moncton office, about ninety minutes down Route 11. The file moves by phone and video, and when a Miramichi court date calls for counsel in person, counsel travels.

The Miramichi Courthouse and Judicial District

Miramichi keeps its own courts. The Provincial Court of New Brunswick sits in the city, and Miramichi is one of the province’s eight judicial districts, so Court of King’s Bench matters are heard locally too. The Courts of New Brunswick site publishes sitting schedules. A charge from anywhere along the river valley is called here rather than in Moncton or Bathurst.

Injury Files Miramichi Lawyers Take On

A claim has two years under the province’s Limitation of Actions Act, and the safest move is to have the deadline calculated long before it matters. Records come from the Miramichi Regional Hospital and your own physician, gathered with your written consent. The river, Route 8 and Route 11 shape the caseload: highway collisions, and motorcycle accident claims in the riding season. The city stretches along both banks of the river, which puts a real number of kilometres between a client’s home and the clinic treating them, and travel to treatment is a recoverable expense worth tracking from the first appointment.

Criminal Defence Before the Miramichi Provincial Court

Miramichi is one of the few New Brunswick cities with its own municipal force, the Miramichi Police Force, and the RCMP covers the surrounding villages. Release conditions come first on most files: a curfew or a no-contact term set at the first appearance can be varied, and the application to vary it is usually worth bringing early rather than living with the term for months. The DUI page and the assault page cover the two charges we see most from the city.

The Moncton Office Holds the File, and Counsel Drives to the Sittings

Miramichi has its own courthouse and the firm attends it, so the ninety minutes on Route 11 is counsel’s drive rather than yours. The file itself is held at the Moncton office and updated by phone and email between dates. Contact the firm or call.
