Act fast: why early legal support is essential

When you’re accused of a crime or arrested, quick action is crucial. Having a solicitor present from the start can make all the difference, especially during police interviews. Many people speak to the police without legal advice, which can harm their defence later. Contacting our criminal solicitors in Wigan as soon as possible gives us the opportunity to protect your rights and start building a strong defence strategy right away.

Our Wigan-based team has extensive experience defending clients in various areas of criminal law, including:

  • Assault and violent offences: From common assault to grievous bodily harm (GBH), we provide expert defence for violent crime allegations.
  • Drug offences: Whether you’re facing charges for possession or supply, we offer skilled representation in drug-related cases.
  • Fraud and financial crimes: We have a proven track record defending clients against fraud, money laundering, and other financial crime allegations.
  • Theft and burglary: If you’re accused of theft, burglary, or handling stolen goods, we work to minimise the impact these charges can have on your life.
  • Sexual offences: We provide sensitive, professional defence for clients facing allegations of sexual misconduct, including historical accusations.
  • Road traffic offences: From drink driving to speeding and dangerous driving, we help clients defend against motoring offences, aiming to avoid or reduce penalties.
