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.

When we’re talking with you, we promise to be always non-judgmental and sensitive to what you’re going through.
We start by asking you questions so we can understand what’s going on, and we listen carefully to what you tell us.
What the law says What the possible or likely outcomes are
What steps you take to improve the situation
What we would charge to help, or if legal aid is a good option
In some cases which are less serious or complex, it may be ten or twenty minutes on the phone.
In more serious or difficult situations we may need an hour or two in person to go through things with you properly.
If it’s obvious straight away that we wouldn’t be able to help, we’ll tell you straight away and point you in the right direction to find lawyers who can help.
