Law firms ranked by client reviews
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.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The solicitor protects the client’s position in serious decisions, deadlines, and potential penalties, such as custody or community orders. They work to ensure lawful processes are followed, preserve the client’s rights, and minimise potential harm while advancing the strongest available defence.
