Arrest work in England covers when police detain someone, what rights are explained, and how a solicitor protects a person’s interests from the outset. A solicitor advises at police custody, reviews the case for admissible evidence, and helps arrange bail or advocate for early release. They may also liaise with the Crown Prosecution Service and prepare for any required court appearances following the detention.

Naomi Matthews
Consultant Solicitor
“From the moment I spoke to Lily about my arrest, she listened intently and allowed me to discuss the situation out in full before she made some suggestions, before we talked about fees. I wanted someone who knew the law inside out and she immediately recommended Jacqui. Looking at her bio and her experience, I knew I was in safe hands. From our first formal meeting, through to the 2nd interview stage she was there supporting me and guiding me through my case. Her assistant (Lily) was equally supportive and responsive to emails and calls. Before the 2nd interview with the police, Jacqui explained what was going to happen and what questions might arise from the information provided by the police. Her guidance and expert view put my mind at ease, and her friendly personality when I met her at the police station helped ease my tension. By the end of the police interview, she assured me that it would be highly unlikely that something would come of this. Few months on, she was spot on and I cannot thank Jacqui and Lily enough for supporting me through the hardest time of my life. Thank you both.”

Philip Kouvaritakis
Associate Solicitor
“I instructed Philip to give guidance and representation on a minor community resolution. We had one face to face meeting whereby he explained the situation fully and advised the best way forward to a quick and satisfactory resolution. A few subsequent phone calls on progress and the matter was resolved. Philip was extremely helpful and professional throughout the process.”

“Michael was supportive after my initial arrest, and helped me through what was an alien experience. He was able to get me a superb barrister who took charge through my court experiences, taking a lot of pressure off me, and resulting in a favourable outcome.”
