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.
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.

Tagged solicitor Rachel Diorio
We cannot thank Rachel enough for the support she has given my son and our family. From the very beginning, Rachel has been absolutely brilliant. My son has ADHD and can find stressful and unfamiliar situations particularly difficult, so having someone like Rachel supporting him made a huge difference. Her response time has been exceptional, and she has been there for us even during the early hours of the morning when we were dealing with a very stressful situation. She provided excellent support and reassurance while helping my son through his police interview, helping to settle his nerves and making sure he understood what was happening. She was patient, understanding and took the time to explain things in a way he could understand. Her legal advice throughout has been clear, professional and extremely helpful. She has also provided excellent support and guidance throughout my son’s court case, always taking the time to explain things clearly and keeping us informed. This has been an incredibly difficult and worrying experience for our family, but Rachel’s support, professionalism and availability made a huge difference. We have felt listened to, supported and reassured throughout. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a solicitor who is responsive, caring, knowledgeable and understanding, particularly when supporting a young person with additional needs such as ADHD.

Tagged solicitor Stephen Mark Oldham
I am so thankful I read previous reviews and chose Stephen Oldham to represent me in court. His professionalism, knowledge and expertise was outstanding, and his attention to detail absolutely incredible. It had been an extremely stressful time for me, and I prepared myself for the very worst. Stephen was honest at at times, calm and confident, he guided me through a very complicated case. advising me where necessary to produce the best defence. He was caring throughout which helped me enormously, updating me at all times. The results were far exceeding my expectations. I cannot thank him enough. Definitely the best solicitor by far. Thank you so much Stephen.
