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.

My husband and I cannot recommend or thank Mr Jandoo and his legal colleague Miss Lamballe enough. They guided us through what was an extremely difficult and stressful legal issue, with confidence and care and secured the outcome we had hoped for. Many many thanks, Mr and Mrs Lamb

Olivia BriarStefan Simms

Tagged solicitors Olivia Briar and Stefan Simms

My experience overall with BRGP has been amazing from starting enquiry to case closed. Both Olivia and Ellis gave timely responses to all emails and were understanding. My assigned solicitor Stefan Simms was incredibly knowledgeable and very reassuring from my first meeting with him right through to the finished court case. Stefan took onboard everything and explored every option to enable effective mitigation including previous case law for my particular case. Stefan made sure that all options available to me were explained and understood clearly so that when the time came he could represent my case efficiently and effectively to secure the best possible outcome - which he did. Stefan made the entire physical process of seeing a solicitor for the first time and being in court with one very comforting, pleasurable and reassuring even when it comes to mental health. 11/10
