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.

John Stokes

Tagged solicitor John Stokes

I was a victim of a crime carried out by a gang. I was forced to protect and defend myself against one of them. They falsely accused me of assault. It was a leghty case but Mr John Stokes was very respectful and patient with me throughout the ordeal. He took time to go through all of my evidence and was able to file a character reference on my behalf to court. After taking the case to trial, I was completely exonerated of all charges. As I told John, if I get in trouble again, I will call on him. Nice work John.

Abbie Terry

Tagged solicitor Abbie Terry

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Abbie and Alistair for the exceptional work they did on my case. From the very beginning, they showed unmatched dedication and commitment. Even during times when Abbie was unwell, she still went above and beyond, using her personal time to ensure my case was handled with the utmost care. Their hard work and attention to detail were instrumental in proving my innocence. Alistair, a highly skilled barrister, demonstrated incredible intelligence and poise in protecting my case. His expertise was clear as he navigated the legal process, never intimidated by the prosecutor. His eloquence and ability to communicate effectively in court made a significant impact. What stood out most to me was how prepared they were. Despite the fact that the burden of proof lay with the prosecutor, Abbie and Alistair had all the necessary paperwork in hand, ensuring that they were always a step ahead. Their meticulous approach and foresight meant that I didn’t even need to prove anything myself, they had everything covered. Throughout the entire process, Abbie and Alistair treated me with the utmost respect and compassion. They never treated me like just another case file. Instead, they genuinely reassured me and made me feel like a priority, which is rare, especially in the realm of legal aid. Their service exceeded even that of private firms. I am forever grateful for their handling of my case from start to finish, and all of it was done with impressive speed and efficiency. I truly can’t thank them enough for their support and for achieving the best outcome in such a short time. May bless them, Insha Allah. Thank you, Abbie and Alistair, for everything!
