Top 10 of 2,123 law firms for Burden of Proof, Crime/ Criminal Defence

Law firms ranked by client reviews

In England, this work covers how the Crown must prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt and how a solicitor defends someone facing criminal charges by scrutinising the prosecution’s evidence, coordinating disclosure requests, and advising on appropriate pleas and defences. A solicitor reviews witness statements, expert reports, and the crossexamination plan, drafts robust defence submissions, and represents the client at magistrates’ court or the Crown Court. The aim is to expose weaknesses in the Crown’s case and secure the best possible outcome.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The crucial moment is when the Crown’s evidence meets or fails the standard of proof; if it falls short, the client is likely to be acquitted. A solicitor identifies flaws, negotiates with prosecutors, and may advise on bail, case management, and possible juror considerations. They provide regulated professional oversight, with client accounts and conduct of proceedings governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

Abby Fowler

Tagged solicitor Abby Fowler

After searching for a lawyer, I contacted Kidwells of Hereford, I'm pleased to say it was definitely the right decision. I first met michael Horne who explained the legality of my case and guided me through what could happen and from that point on Micheal was always available with full and clear explanations at every stage. I then met Abby Washbourne who is Micheal's trainee lawyer, I have to say Abby has been an absolute star, she worked tirelessly putting the huge amount of information and evidence together for my case, Abby would always be on hand if I needed anything, sometimes working late or on weekends. They not only cared on a professional level but also on a personal level and gave me a great deal of reassurance and support when needed. With the help and care of both Micheal and Abby we got the result I deserved and needed. I would not hesitate recommending both Micheal Horne and Abby Washbourne. Thank you both so much,

Claire and Jessica were very professional and supportive throughout. They would answer my questions and guided me through the investigation which eventually led to a no further action. Couldn't have asked for better and would highly recommend.
