Criminal Law

For most people a Police investigation for a criminal offence is something they only read about in the newspapers. However, mistakes and misjudgements can lead to this becoming a reality. Without warning, an ordinary person can find themselves faced with the prospect of being arrested, questioned by the Police or other authorities, charged and put before the Courts. In such circumstances, you will want to turn to a solicitor you can trust and who can guide you through complex legal procedures and stand by you every step of the way.

Whilst we do not deal with criminal matters ourselves, if you are in trouble with the police we can refer you to a solicitor who can assist you.  They provide a full range of criminal defence services including:

  • 24 hour FREE Police Station Advice and Assistance
  • Assistance with all types of Criminal and Regulatory investigation
  • Magistrates’ Court Representation
  • Crown Court Representation
  • Appeals and Prison Law

Legal Aid may be available which enables solicitors to see the vast majority of clients free of charge.
