New Glasgow Lawyers for Injury and Criminal Cases

New Glasgow has the county’s regional hospital, but the courthouse is across the harbour in Pictou. Mike Murphy Law Group does the work people expect of New Glasgow lawyers from its Halifax office, about ninety minutes away, building the file by phone, video and email and appearing in person whenever a court date calls for it.

Pictou County’s Courts Sit Across the Harbour in Pictou

Charges from New Glasgow, Stellarton, Trenton and Westville are called at the justice centre in Pictou, where the Provincial Court holds regular sittings and the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia hears the county’s civil work. The Nova Scotia Courts site lists the current schedule. Bail, sentencing and trial for the county all run through that one building, which keeps scheduling simple.

The Work New Glasgow Lawyers Do on an Injury Claim

Nova Scotia allows two years to start most injury lawsuits under the Limitation of Actions Act, and confirming the exact deadline is the first task on any Pictou County file. The Aberdeen Hospital in New Glasgow generates most of the medical records, with serious admissions transferred to Halifax and documented there too. A trip and fall claim adds an early job: photographing the site and identifying the occupier before conditions change. A workplace injury raises a different first question, whether workers’ compensation bars the lawsuit, and the firm answers it before anything is filed, because electing the wrong route can close the other one.

Defending Charges Laid in Pictou County

New Glasgow has a regional municipal police force, and the RCMP covers the rural county. The Crown’s disclosure comes before any position is taken on the charge, and conditions imposed at the first appearance are challenged early rather than served out. The Nova Scotia assault and drug charges pages set out how those prosecutions proceed.

Halifax Runs the File, Pictou Takes the Appearances

The serving office is Halifax. Records consents and meetings are handled remotely, and counsel drives to the Pictou justice centre for the dates that need a lawyer in the room, from a first appearance through to trial. Pictou County clients are not asked to make the ninety minutes in the other direction. Contact the firm or call.
