This work covers representing clients in Crown Court proceedings for serious offences, including trial advocacy, bail hearings, sentencing hearings, and related applications. A solicitor handles instructions from the client, reviews police and CPS files, negotiates with the prosecution, prepares and leads evidence, cross-examines witnesses, and handles post-charge matters such as appeals or sentence reviews. It also involves engaging with juries, expert witnesses, and court staff to secure the best possible outcome in a high-stakes environment.

“Paul Dillon was first point of contact with Lawtons. He was very helpful, gave me good advice regarding the procedure that l would have to go through once at Magistrates court. The barrister l was appointed was on his recommendation was also very professional and again gave me good advice. Fortunately my case was dismissed before it got to Crown Court. The advice and help l received from Paul, Patrick and Beth was invaluable. An extremely unpleasant and worrying experience had a very good outcome. Thank you Lawtons Solicitors.”

“I found Madeleine through the Centre for Women’s Justice website and I’m so grateful that I did. My case was a serious offence and could have had a huge impact on both my daughter and my career. I needed a solicitor who understood domestic abuse and coercive control, and Madeleine’s knowledge and experience immediately stood out. From the beginning, she was supportive, reassuring, and always willing to help, even before my legal aid was approved. I was not charged by the CPS until around 13 months after my arrest, but throughout that time Madeleine still took action on my behalf. She contacted the police about any concerns I had, successfully requested changes to some of my bail conditions. Even while my case was still an active investigation, she successfully arranged for some of my property to be returned to me. Once I was charged, Madeleine helped me with my legal aid application and regularly met with me to prepare my defence. She took the time to listen to me and I felt supported throughout the whole process. The CPS discontinued proceedings against me just before my second plea hearing at Crown Court. I cannot explain the relief I feel, and I’m now able to move forward and rebuild my life with my daughter. I truly believe Madeleine’s expertise and dedication made all the difference to the outcome of my case, and I will always be thankful for her support. I would highly recommend Shaw Graham Kersh LLP to anyone needing a knowledgeable and compassionate defence solicitor.”

“Chciałem uprzejmie podziękować za wygranie paru dobrych lat mojego życia. Pani kancelaria wyciągnęła mnie z bardzo ciężkiej sytuacji i będę z tego powodu Pani dozgonnie wdzięczny. Nie mogłem dostać lepszego prezentu na święta. Pan Barry zrobił niesamowitą robotę podczas trialu, od pierwszego dnia walczył o mnie co mi osobiście też dało dużą motywację do tego żeby się bronić podczas przesłuchania w sądzie,był przygotowany w 100%(mówiłem, że te wakacje przed rozprawą to dobry pomysł ;)). Mieliśmy ciężki start ale udało się wyjść z opresji, może być Pani naprawdę dumna z pracy którą wykonaliście. Pozdrowienia ode mnie i całej mojej rodziny, każdemu z uśmiechem na twarzy polecę usługi A.M Solicitors. Miłego dnia i wesołych świąt! (moje na pewno będą wesołe. ;)) (Translated by Google) I wanted to thank you for winning me a few good years of my life. Your law firm pulled me out of a very difficult situation, and I will be eternally grateful to you for that. I couldn't have received a better Christmas present. Mr. Barry did an incredible job during the trial. He fought for me from day one, which also gave me great motivation to defend myself during the hearing in court. He was 100% prepared (I told you that vacation before the trial was a good idea ;)). We had a rough start, but we managed to get out of trouble. You can be truly proud of the work you did. Best wishes from me and my entire family, and I will recommend A.M. Solicitors to everyone with a smile on my face. Have a nice day and a Merry Christmas! (Mine will definitely be a Merry Christmas! ;))”
