Criminal defence

THE POLICE STATION
The police station is where, often, the most important decisions relating to criminal defence work are taken. We are on-call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to provide advice and assistance to ensure that investigating authorities carry out their duties properly and to endeavour to ensure that you make the correct decisions. Out of hours contact details are held at all local police stations.

THE MAGISTRATES' COURT
Should you have to appear in a Magistrates' Court, you will be advised of the options available to you and how best to proceed. Our team of advocates and support staff will be available to prepare and present your case to its best advantage, whether by way of a trial or by a plea in mitigation.

We shall assist in the collection of evidence supporting your case and, where necessary, ensure that appropriate expert evidence is obtained. We shall ensure that your interests are fully protected.

THE CROWN COURT
The more serious cases go to the Crown Court and, should this happen, we, again, will ensure that your case is prepared and presented to its best advantage, including the collection of evidence and the instructing of appropriate expert witnesses.

You will be represented in court either by a barrister, carefully selected from our chosen panel, or by a Higher Courts' Advocate. In either case, you will have the most appropriate representation to ensure that your interests are fully protected. One of our Partners, Mr Ian Richards is a Higher Courts Advocate so would be able to fully represent you in person.

If you require these services please call us on 01425 278866
