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.

“My son was charged with an offence and GT Stewart were the duty solicitor assigned and have supported us through the process. Kevin Williams, the lead case officer has been responsive to all of our questions, providing clear and helpful advice and support, and the array of other colleagues we have dealt with (representing our son at court and supporting Kevin) has been professional and courteous. I hope not to have to need the services of GT Stewart in similar services, but will certainly recommend them to any that might need support. ”
