Top 10 of 2,123 law firms for Dbs Checks, Crime/ Criminal Defence

Law firms ranked by client reviews

DBS checks cover the criminal record screening process used by employers in England to assess applicants and employees. A solicitor here explains when to obtain a basic, standard or enhanced DBS check, who may request it, and how the results affect hiring, licensing or particular roles. A specialist will draft and submit the application, review any cautions or convictions disclosed, advise on disclosure obligations, and help navigate any corrections or concerns raised by the DBS. Practical issues include timing, safeguarding requirements and compliance with data protection rules.

Where a solicitor protects your position

A DBS check can determine whether an individual may work with certain groups or in regulated posts, and failures or disclosures can affect employment prospects, security clearances or professional licensing. A solicitor provides guidance on lawful handling, disclosure duties, and how to respond if information is revealed or challenged, including steps to address inaccuracies or the need for enhanced checks.

Heidi StewartKeertan Gill

Tagged solicitors Heidi Stewart and Keertan Gill

I instructed Winstons to assist me in a CiCA application. Keertan and Heidi made it a stress free process. The communication was amazing and all conversations were done in a sensitive and compassionate way. The knowledge and advice I received was comprehensive but helped me understand each stage of the process. I needed an out of time waiver and was so grateful that they achieved this and I received and award that accounted for all of the offences. I could not recommend them enough. Thank you so much for your help.

Chris Wong

Tagged solicitor Chris Wong

I can’t thank Chris Wong enough for the exceptional support, expertise and professionalism he showed throughout my case. From the very beginning, he was approachable, empathetic and genuinely understanding of what was an extremely stressful and difficult situation for me. Chris explained everything clearly and patiently, ensuring I understood my options, the legal process and what to expect at every stage. His communication was outstanding: he kept me informed, answered my questions thoroughly and made sure I never felt confused or left in the dark. I always felt listened to, respected and supported, rather than treated like just another case. What stood out most was the combination of Chris’s extensive knowledge and genuine compassion. He went above and beyond to protect my interests, approached every challenge with confidence and care, and made an incredibly stressful experience much easier to manage. His calm, reassuring manner gave me confidence when I needed it most, and his hard work and dedication helped achieve a positive outcome for me. I would wholeheartedly recommend Chris Wong to anyone looking for a solicitor who combines outstanding legal expertise with empathy, clear communication and a truly client-focused approach. He is professional, committed and genuinely cares about the people he represents. I’m extremely grateful for everything he did for me and would not hesitate to recommend him.

David Scully

Tagged solicitor David Scully

Well what can I say? David was initially the duty solicitor on my brother’s case so it was a fortunate accident that we met. From first contact he was calm and reassuring. He made us see that it wasn’t as bad as it seemed and that he would help us every step of the way. He genuinely wanted to help and wasn’t driven by financial gain in the slightest. David went above and beyond to help my brother including taking calls at very unsociable hours and a-lot of traipsing about various locations across Lancashire. He was kind and mindful of our situation and never once made us feel like we were being judged. As for our outcome we decided to plead guilty to a lesser charge which was fully our decision, David informed us that whatever choice we make he would accept and defend us. Upon sentencing he was very vocal in ensuring that any punishment or obligations were negotiated to the lowest they could possibly be and had real presence in the courtroom . He has years of experience and it shows. Cant thank him enough from the bottom of my heart thank you David Scully for all you did for my brother.

From the initial representation, she was professional, supportive, friendly, approachable, kind and compassionate. Always going the extra mile.

I would have no hesitation in highly recommending her.
