With video-link facilities for prison conferences and 24/7 police station attendance, we ensure timely intervention. Our team handles offences ranging from minor charges to serious crimes, maintaining client confidentiality and strategic advocacy throughout proceedings.

Our Resolution Accredited Specialists handle family law matters including divorce, child custody, domestic abuse injunctions, and pre-nuptial agreements. We offer free initial consultations and fixed fees for straightforward cases, with legal aid availability for eligible clients. Services include emergency action for child protection cases, financial settlements, and direct consultations with children. Our approach balances legal rigor with compassionate support during emotionally challenging situations.

We defend clients facing motoring offences including drink/drug driving, speeding, and dangerous driving charges. Fixed-fee packages cover court representation for guilty pleas, with additional costs for special reasons arguments or expert witness instruction.

Cases are handled by specialists familiar with technical defences and sentencing guidelines.

We provide tribunal representation, CPA meeting support, and community treatment order advice. Solicitors specialise in challenging unlawful detention, ensuring care plan compliance, and safeguarding patient rights. Services include hospital discharge planning and advocacy for clients in both inpatient and community settings.
Coroners Inquests
We represent families and witnesses at coroners' inquests, including jury-led investigations into deaths in custody or workplace accidents.
