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.

Rachel Diorio

Tagged solicitor Rachel Diorio

We cannot thank Rachel enough for the support she has given my son and our family. From the very beginning, Rachel has been absolutely brilliant. My son has ADHD and can find stressful and unfamiliar situations particularly difficult, so having someone like Rachel supporting him made a huge difference. Her response time has been exceptional, and she has been there for us even during the early hours of the morning when we were dealing with a very stressful situation. She provided excellent support and reassurance while helping my son through his police interview, helping to settle his nerves and making sure he understood what was happening. She was patient, understanding and took the time to explain things in a way he could understand. Her legal advice throughout has been clear, professional and extremely helpful. She has also provided excellent support and guidance throughout my son’s court case, always taking the time to explain things clearly and keeping us informed. This has been an incredibly difficult and worrying experience for our family, but Rachel’s support, professionalism and availability made a huge difference. We have felt listened to, supported and reassured throughout. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a solicitor who is responsive, caring, knowledgeable and understanding, particularly when supporting a young person with additional needs such as ADHD.

Stephen Mark Oldham

Tagged solicitor Stephen Mark Oldham

Mr Oldham is a very composed and honest person. You will tell that he is not after your money. He will become part of your daily life and explain to you what to expect. Just a family man. I was expecting a prison sentence, but now I am writing this for you as a free person. Trust him and you will be fine.
