Defences covers the work of protecting someone facing criminal charges, from initial arrest to trial and appeal. A solicitor in this area advises on evidence, rights and possible defences, negotiates with prosecutors, and represents the client in court. They handle disclosure requests, bail applications, alibi and mental health considerations, and advise on plea options and sentencing consequences if convicted.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

Defence work is heavily regulated and involves safeguarding client rights through proper disclosure, accurate record-keeping and adherence to a regulated professional framework. A solicitor can instruct barristers, apply for bail, challenge evidence, and prepare the case for trial with clear, legally grounded arguments.

Elliot Hammer

Tagged solicitor Elliot Hammer

I was harassed by a malicious troll attempting, at great length and persisting for several years, to have me prosecuted for some perfectly lawful tweets. Elliot was a rock, completely on top of the brief and very supportive even after the troll also started harassing him. Would highly recommend.
