    This work covers the investigation of alleged crimes by police and the decision to charge or release suspects, and the subsequent prosecution in court. A solicitor in this area represents individuals from arrest or interview under caution through bail applications, disclosure, and preparing for magistrates’ or crown court proceedings. They advise on rights during police interviews, gather evidence, negotiate with prosecutors, and advocate for the client at hearings and trials, ensuring proper procedure and safeguarding legal rights.

    “Paul Dillon was first point of contact with Lawtons. He was very helpful, gave me good advice regarding the procedure that l would have to go through once at Magistrates court. The barrister l was appointed was on his recommendation was also very professional and again gave me good advice. Fortunately my case was dismissed before it got to Crown Court. The advice and help l received from Paul, Patrick and Beth was invaluable. An extremely unpleasant and worrying experience had a very good outcome. Thank you Lawtons Solicitors.”

    “As a result of an altercation with a neighbour I was arrested and kept overnight in the cells. I requested legal representation to help and to guide me through this ordeal. A Stryderslaw representative arrived the following morning to help and to represent me and I was immediately reassured and advised as to how to proceed. The case was eventually dropped months later but through out this time I was always able to seek advice and help from my solicitor. Thank you Stryders for your help, advice and reassurance throughout this ordeal.”
