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.

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.

John Ruane

Tagged solicitor John Ruane

I was stopped for drink driving and provided a road side specimen for the police. The reading recorded at the roadside showed I was more than two times over the limit. I was then taken to the police station where I was charged with failing to provide a sample. Contacting JHR Solicitors was the best decision I could of made, John gave me clear advice of the service he could provide and the possible outcome for my case. John was professional and provided a first class service, which was easy to understand with his great legal knowledge. Thanks to John's hard work and proactiveness I was found not guilty and my case was acquitted. I would highly recommend JHR solicitors and I would defiantly use again.

Waqqas Ashraf

Tagged solicitor Waqqas Ashraf

I hired Wasqas from WA Legal to work on my criminal case and I cannot recommend him enough. From our very first consultation, Wasqas was transparent, highly responsive and took the time to explain every step of a complex legal process in plain English. What stood out was his dedication and calm demeanour during a very stressful time for me. He was quick to answer my questions and kept me fully informed of any updates. If you need a skilled and trustworthy lawyer, who genuinely cares about their clients, then look no further. I would highly recommend this firm.
