Top 10 of 2,123 law firms for Criminal Defence Service, Crime/ Criminal Defence

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The act of being charged with an offence is time-sensitive and potentially life-altering, especially for serious or violent crime. A solicitor protects rights at every stage—ensuring proper conduct of interviews, applying for bail, challenging evidence, and, where necessary, representing the client in hearings and trials. The defence plan hinges on timely decisions, adherence to procedural deadlines, and the ability to secure remedies if rights are breached.

As is often the case, one is in need of legal services when one is in an unfamiliar and stressful situation. The way my representative handled my preparation to face the issue and to handle the difficult process was exemplary, and made me feel fully prepared and in control.

I cannot fault the service I was given by everyone at this firm. I was totally confident in their abilities and was exposed to just how bad other solicitors were so I had a solid comparison.

James Bainbridge

Tagged solicitor James Bainbridge

This is my third time using Cartwright King to represent me and every time their service has been of truly exceptional quality. They have always gone above and beyond with all aspects involved and maintained the highest levels of professionalism. The main point though is that they have always helped me retain my liberty. I owe them a great debt of gratitude and heartfelt thanks and would not recommend them highly enough.

I highly recommend **Zaine Riaz at Upright Morris Solicitors**. From the outset, Zaine has been professional, knowledgeable and straightforward in his approach. He was able to successfully amend my bail conditions with ease and has consistently provided clear, sound legal advice throughout. Most importantly, the advice and representation I have received have produced positive results, which has given me a great deal of confidence in his handling of matters. Zaine is responsive, approachable and clearly experienced in what he does. He explains things in a way that is easy to understand and focuses on achieving the best practical outcome for his client. I would have no hesitation in recommending **Zaine Riaz and Upright Morris Solicitors** to anyone looking for professional and effective legal representation.
