Services
Criminal Defence
We provide specialist criminal defence representation for clients facing charges ranging from motoring offences to serious crimes like murder. Our solicitors and advocates work with forensic experts to build robust defence strategies. Clients receive free legal advice at police stations and court representation tailored to their case complexity and financial circumstances.
Police Station Representation
Our 24/7 police station service ensures immediate legal support during investigations. Clients receive free legal advice regardless of financial status, with solicitors attending interviews to protect rights during voluntary or arrested interviews. We specialise in 'Caution Plus 3' procedures and bail applications.
Court Representation
We represent clients in criminal courts with solicitor-advocates handling cases from initial hearings to trials. Legal aid availability depends on case type and client finances. For non-aided cases, our hourly rate includes experienced solicitors with over 20 years' expertise in criminal law proceedings.
Appeals
Our team challenges excessive sentences through the Court of Appeal. Recent successes include reducing prison terms for drug supply convictions. We assess appeal viability based on legal errors or new evidence, leveraging our advocates' experience in higher court procedures.
Legal Aid Advice
We advise on legal aid eligibility for court cases, explaining criteria linked to financial circumstances and case severity. While police station attendance is always free, court representation funding requires assessment. We provide clear guidance on private payment options for non-eligible cases.
