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.

Amrit Jandoo

Tagged solicitor Amrit Jandoo

Exceptional service from start to finish. Amrit Jandoo is efficient and thorough and clearly incredibly experienced at what he does. He cuts through emotion and gets to the root of the issue quickly. I would highly recommend CW Booth for any criminal matters and hopefully we won’t ever need his service again but if we did, we would not use anyone else.

Olivia BriarStefan Simms

Tagged solicitors Olivia Briar and Stefan Simms

My experience overall with BRGP has been amazing from starting enquiry to case closed. Both Olivia and Ellis gave timely responses to all emails and were understanding. My assigned solicitor Stefan Simms was incredibly knowledgeable and very reassuring from my first meeting with him right through to the finished court case. Stefan took onboard everything and explored every option to enable effective mitigation including previous case law for my particular case. Stefan made sure that all options available to me were explained and understood clearly so that when the time came he could represent my case efficiently and effectively to secure the best possible outcome - which he did. Stefan made the entire physical process of seeing a solicitor for the first time and being in court with one very comforting, pleasurable and reassuring even when it comes to mental health. 11/10
