The importance of immediate legal support
If you’ve been arrested or are under investigation, seeking legal advice as soon as possible is critical. Early intervention can significantly improve the outcome of your case, as it allows your solicitor to guide you through police questioning and ensure that your rights are protected from the outset. Too often, individuals make the mistake of speaking to the police without legal representation, which can harm their defence later.
Our criminal solicitors provide 24/7 legal support, meaning we can attend police stations and offer urgent advice whenever you need it. We understand that swift action is essential, and we’re ready to step in at a moment’s notice to protect your interests.
Areas of criminal defence we cover
Criminal law is vast, and our solicitors have the expertise to handle a wide range of cases. Whether you’re facing allegations of a minor offence or a more serious crime, we are here to provide expert legal advice and representation.
Violent crimes
If you’ve been accused of a violent offence, such as assault, grievous bodily harm (GBH), or manslaughter, the potential penalties can be severe. We have extensive experience defending clients in cases involving violent crimes, working to challenge evidence, protect your rights, and secure the best possible outcome.
Drug offences
Drug charges can range from possession to more serious offences like drug trafficking or production. Whether you’re facing a minor possession charge or a more complex case involving supply of drugs, our solicitors are experienced in defending clients against drug-related allegations. We explore every angle, from questioning the legality of searches and arrests to examining evidence collection methods.
Fraud and white-collar crime
White-collar crimes such as fraud and money laundering require detailed legal expertise, as these cases often involve complex financial records and regulations. We have successfully represented clients facing fraud charges, including those accused of high-profile and serious financial crimes. Our team understands both the legal and financial aspects of these cases, allowing us to provide a robust defence.
Sexual offences
Sexual offence allegations are some of the most sensitive and serious charges one can face, carrying severe penalties and long-lasting consequences. Whether you are accused of sexual assault, rape, or historical sexual offences, our solicitors provide discreet, non-judgmental support. We will work to protect your rights, challenge the evidence, and defend you at every stage of the process.
Theft, robbery, and burglary
Crimes involving theft, robbery, or burglary can have significant legal consequences, including imprisonment and fines. Our solicitors are experienced in handling cases related to property crime, working to minimise penalties, and defend against unjust accusations. We carefully review the circumstances of your arrest, the evidence, and witness statements to build the strongest possible case.
Road traffic offences
From drink driving and speeding to more serious charges like dangerous driving, our solicitors regularly represent clients facing motoring offences. In many cases, we can help you avoid or minimise penalties, protect your driving licence, and negotiate reduced charges. Whether you are facing a minor traffic violation or a more serious offence, we offer clear advice and strong defence strategies.
Developing a personalised defence strategy
Every criminal case is unique, and we believe that the best defence is one tailored specifically to your circumstances. From the moment we take on your case, our criminal solicitors will work closely with you to understand the full details of your situation. We thoroughly examine the evidence, consult with expert witnesses if necessary, and develop a defence strategy that gives you the best possible chance of success.
We take a meticulous approach to preparing your case, challenging inconsistencies in the prosecution's evidence, and exploring all avenues for dismissal or acquittal. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the best possible representation, regardless of the nature of the charges against you.
Expert representation at every stage
From police interviews to court appearances, we are here to represent you at every step of the legal process. Our solicitors are highly skilled advocates, and we also work with some of the best barristers in London when needed to ensure your defence is as strong as possible.
We provide representation in all criminal courts, including Magistrates’ Court and Crown Court, ensuring that you are supported throughout your entire legal journey. Whether it’s negotiating bail, presenting evidence, or cross-examining witnesses, we work tirelessly to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
Navigating police interviews: the first crucial step
One of the most critical stages of any criminal case is the initial police interview. Many individuals underestimate the importance of having a solicitor present during questioning, but your responses during this stage can significantly impact the outcome of your case.
We strongly advise that you never attend a police interview without a solicitor. Our team is available to accompany you to the station, ensuring that the police treat you fairly and that your rights are upheld. We will guide you through the interview process, advising you on when to answer questions and when to exercise your right to silence. This early legal support can make a critical difference to your defence.
Understanding the consequences of criminal convictions
A criminal conviction can have far-reaching consequences beyond the immediate sentence. In addition to fines, imprisonment, or community service, a conviction can:
- Affect your employment prospects, as many employers require a clean criminal record.
- Impact your ability to travel, with certain countries denying entry to individuals with criminal records.
- Damage your personal reputation, especially if your case receives media attention.
- Lead to long-term monitoring or restrictions if you are placed on the sex offender register or receive other conditional penalties.
Given the gravity of these consequences, it is essential to have the strongest possible legal defence. Our solicitors work to mitigate the impact of any criminal charges on your future, striving to reduce penalties or secure acquittals wherever possible.
