    Criminal defence covers the advice and representation given to someone charged with a crime, from the moment of arrest through police interview to court. A solicitor defends the client, reviews evidence, negotiates with the Crown Prosecution Service, and represents them in magistrates’ courts, the Crown Court, or on appeal. They prepare witnesses, challenge disclosure, draft legal submissions, and seek bail, sentence reductions, or acquittals based on the law and the facts.

    “Michelle Breindel defended me when I was in big trouble. Michelle was efficient , knowledgable and courteous. I was facing a adjournment to crown court and even an immediate prison sentence. But I only received a suspended sentence and the matter was dealt with that day. I would recommend Michelle to anybody who finds theirselves in trouble with the criminal justice system . Thanks Jason Roberts ”
