When police knock at the door or call on the phone for the first time, it can change your life in an instant. The stigma of the allegation, and the worry about what may happen can be incredibly stressful. But there is a big difference between police suspicion and actual evidence that will stack up in court. By having the right advice early, you can often avoid conviction.
Our criminal solicitors fight to win our clients’ cases and the proof is our results. Where a client doesn’t admit the allegation we win at trial or get the case dropped beforehand in 72% of cases.*
We listen to you and treat your situation as if we were in your shoes. We don’t hire staff unless they have this mindset. Every case is supervised by one of the firm’s directors.
We do our own thorough investigation and find the best way to present your case to the police, to the prosecutor, or finally to the jury. This means phone, letters, and aggressive advocacy on your behalf at every stage.
We never give up, and we fight until we get the result. That can mean early mornings, late nights, and commitment to go the extra mile.
It is a mistake to assume that all criminal lawyers provide a similar service. Having a top law firm with a really good win rate on your side can make the difference between winning and losing. Don’t take the risk.

Our client was an abuse survivor who had still managed to build a career in education.
