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.

Karla Sims

Tagged solicitor Karla Sims

Some three years ago after my mother’s death I was accused of very serious allegations regarding a minor. This with other traumatic incidences in my life at the time led to a mental breakdown. Albin and Co were recommended to me by a family friend. I was going through a divorce at the time and Sally Wood was assigned to my case and dealt with the resolution in a swift and efficient manner. Her personal support left me in no doubt I had made the correct choice engaging Albin & Co. Regarding the allegations against me. Chris Albin was more than sympathetic and helpful at the start obviously understanding the trauma I was under. Chris appointed Karla Simms and we met several times and had many calls in and out of normal working hours. Karla supported me and I will add 'gone the extra mile' making the process easier to deal with. Each time we met Karla had a time to ask how I was mentally and wanted to understand how I was coping. As this was the first time I had to deal with something like this, not knowing the justice system, once more the trauma was at times overwhelming. Karla laid out clearly what the process was and helped me get through everything that was required. The data Karla asked for, the meetings we had and the way you typed and recorded all the information to present my defence was truly professional as well as caring. Even at times with a smile but always encouraging and without judgement. Karla interviewed my daughter who in turn had not been through an experience like this. Not just I, my daughter but my extended family are indebted to Karla and Chris’s hard, passionate and sensitive ways of working, thank you I wish you well. Also, thank you to the whole Team at Albin & Co.

Bhumika Parmar (Director & Solicitor) Mrs Harpreet Sanghera (Solicitor) Lucy Payne (Jnr Paralegal) BP Legal is a well-experienced legal team. My case was administered within three weeks of attending the court with a positive outcome. All three named were very client-focused and were courteous. They explained my case well before the court appointment, at the hearing and after the client support. They have competitive costs and are a very reliable legal firm. Thank you so much.

Gareth Needs and his team were very helpful and clear in all the advise given. They were as much concerned about my personal welfare as much as the criminal case I was accused of. Hopefully I wont need his help again but would recommend him to anyone else who found themselves in the same situation I was in.
