Law firms ranked by client reviews

Criminal defence solicitors help people who are arrested or charged with a crime. They work through police station interviews, initial bail applications, and court proceedings up to and including trial in the Crown Court or magistrates’ court. They explain the charges, gather evidence, interview witnesses, draft defences and pleas, and negotiate with the Crown Prosecution Service on your behalf. They also advise on disclosure, rights of audience, and appeal options where relevant.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key protection is ensuring deadlines and procedures are met so crucial decisions aren’t made without adequate review. A solicitor’s role includes securing appropriate bail, challenging evidence or propriety of procedures, and guiding the client through plea options and sentencing considerations within the framework of the Crown Prosecution Service, magistrates’ courts, and the Crown Court.

Daniel Woodman

Tagged solicitor Daniel Woodman

Had well over 15 trials and never lost one. (Lost two but won the appeals in crown court). He is the reason I have a clean licence. He is the reason I’ve never been to jail on many occasions. His name is known is any court in Bristol, bath and surrounding areas. His name is also known out for court for a solicitor that really cares about winning. Not just getting paid. If you value your freedom, driving license and criminal record then find out about Daniel Woodman. Also very knowledgeable in any other matter/aspect of life. I regularly ask him for advice in many matters. A* 10/10 Best about

Amanda SheppardKatelyn Mcloughlin

Tagged solicitors Amanda Sheppard and Katelyn Mcloughlin

I was lucky enough to have been assigned Amanda as my duty solicitor after being arrested in December, accused of an offense that could have put me in prison for 6 months. Before my police interview she calmed my nerves and talked me through exactly what they would ask and how to tackle their questions - instantly I knew she was on my side. In the interview she wasn't afraid to correct the interviewing officer, ensuring the record was kept straight. I was charged with the offence and given a court date. I rang Amanda straight away to tell her and the first thing she said was 'we are going to fight this' - and that she did. In meetings after being charged, she informed me of all the possible outcomes whilst staying incredibly positive that the case wouldn't stand up in court. I plead not guilty and elected the Crown Court as advised, at which point I was appointed Barrister Oliver Saddington to represent me, who also assured me the case would not go anywhere - he continued the fight and eventually got the CPS to admit they could not persue the case against me, and I was found not guilty. A massive thank you to Amanda and Katelyn for their support, expert advice, and all the hard work they put in to my case whilst keeping me aware of exactly what was happening at all times, responding quickly at any time of day - a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders and while I hope I won't have to use their services again, I know exactly who I'm going to if anything does happen to me or anyone I know. Thank you again, Joe

Bhumika Parmar (Director & Solicitor) Mrs Harpreet Sanghera (Solicitor) Lucy Payne (Jnr Paralegal) BP Legal is a well-experienced legal team. My case was administered within three weeks of attending the court with a positive outcome. All three named were very client-focused and were courteous. They explained my case well before the court appointment, at the hearing and after the client support. They have competitive costs and are a very reliable legal firm. Thank you so much.
