    This covers the defence of people accused of criminal offences in England, from police stations to the Crown Court. A solicitor in this area advises on charges, attends police interviews, helps with bail, drafts and negotiates legal points, reviews evidence, and represents the client in court when needed. The work is shaped by the seriousness of the offence, the stage of proceedings, and whether the client pleads or contests charges.
