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.

Outstanding expert advice.My husband has used B P Collins previously and was extremely impressed with their expert advice on an employment related matter.I have just engaged with them over an extremely sensitive and complex family matter. Being guided throughout by Olivia in a kind, professional and extremely knowledgeable manner gave me a huge sense of comfort and reassurance.

Hollie Postlethwaite

Tagged solicitor Hollie Postlethwaite

I am so grateful to Hollie for her exceptional support with a private legal matter. From the initial phone call to the final conclusion, she was brilliant. She is incredibly reassuring and has a wonderful way of easing your nerves when you are feeling stressed. Her guidance was clear, compassionate, and professional throughout. She was always there to answer calls immediately and replied to messages even out of hours. Thank you, Hollie, for making a difficult process so much easier.

Lindsay McKinnie

Tagged solicitor Lindsay McKinnie

I first used Stryders Law as a duty solicitor, but Lindsay kept in touch with me afterwards and provided support and advice as and when I needed it. Then they completed my legal aid application on my behalf so I didn’t need to do anything there. And then I was given an opportunity to have an in depth phone call to get my side of the case across. Two statements were prepared on my behalf and in the end I got the result I needed thanks to Lindsay and Stryders Law. I won’t be getting into this position again, but if anyone close to me needed legal help I’d recommend Stryders first
