    Criminal defence covers the range of work done to protect someone facing criminal charges, from arrest and police station interviews to court appearances in magistrates’ and Crown Courts. A solicitor in this area handles early advice, bail applications, and plea decisions, and represents clients at trial, sentencing and any appeals. They review evidence, coordinate with the Crown Prosecution Service, gather alibis and witnesses, and prepare defences such as lack of state of mind or reasonable doubt. The aim is to secure the best possible outcome within the law.

    “After an incredibly long and difficult 32 months, I was fully acquitted by a unanimous jury verdict. Throughout the entire process, Simon Natas showed outstanding professionalism, dedication, and support. From day one, they handled the case with integrity, care, and attention to detail, always ensuring we felt informed and supported during one of the most stressful periods of our lives. Their leadership, alongside the exceptional barristers they instructed, gave us complete confidence that our case was being fought properly and thoroughly. To receive a unanimous not guilty verdict from all 12 jurors after such a short deliberation speaks volumes, and I will always be grateful for everything they did to help us achieve justice. I cannot recommend Simon Natas highly enough. Thank you again for your hard work, kindness, and unwavering support.”
