The two partners have extensive experience in the conduct of Criminal defence work and indeed the senior partner is a Higher Rights advocate having conducted many Crown Court trials himself over the years.
The firm covers the full range of Criminal allegations from minor road traffic matters to the more serious offences such as murders, frauds and drug related offending as well as everything else in between. The firm is authorised by the Criminal Defence Service and part of the Legal Aid own Client scheme which will cover your legal expenses subject to your eligibility which is means tested.
We will provide you with a quote at the outset if you are not eligible for Legal Aid or your matter falls outside the scope of the Legal Aid scheme.
Some of our legal fees are fixed and you can view those in the fees section.
We can arrange attendance with you on a voluntary basis at the Police station for interview or we can attend if in custody under arrest.
You are entitled to a Solicitor of your choice and the attendance if FREE of charge if you have not previously been assisted by a Solicitor in the matter.
It is essential that you seek professional assistance at the outset, what happens at the Police station will be key to the outcome and we are here to protect you and provide the best possible advice to you.
If your attendance leads to a summons or a charge to appear at Court you can rest assured that we will represent throughout the Magistrates Court and any subsequent Crown Court process.
We conduct many of our own hearings or alternatively if we are unable to attend we only use experienced advocates who may have been used by us before and in whom we know that the service to the Client will be excellent.
Being charged with a Criminal offence and being uncertain as to the future is a stressful time for you and often family members and we are adept at dealing sympathetically with such situations and we are the most robust when it comes to protecting your interests and preparing for hearings. No stone is left unturned in our quest to represent you to the best of our ability and we are not constrained or fettered in any way in asking searching questions of the prosecuting authorities.
