What can we help you with?

Whether you need representation at a police station, the Crown Court, the Court of Appeal, or the Supreme Court, we can help. If the police have detained you, it is essential that you speak to an experienced criminal defence solicitor before any form of questioning takes place. Getting the interview wrong can have drastic consequences, such as a charge to court or a remand to custody.
And you are at risk even if you have been invited to attend a voluntary interview at the police station, as what you say there may still be used in evidence against you.

Whatever the circumstances, the quicker we are appointed, the greater chance we have of getting up to speed with the situation and progressing your case.

What are the costs?
