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.

I contacted JHR after failing a roadside drug test. John called me personally within half an hour of me putting a contact request in on the website. We discussed the case and I was apprehensive with regards to paying the costs involved with fighting this at trial to someobody I had never met in person. And also on a case where the evidence against me is black and white that I am guilty of the offences charged upon myself by CPS. Fast forward time to now 16 months on from my arrest date and I am sat here now in my vehicle with my license still valid and clean, having walked away from court with an acquittal and also a refund of some costs on there way to me. There are other services available who offer a what john offers but I am confident in sharing that money spent with JHR is money well spent. You will be given access to one of the best Barristers in the business. In my case this was John Dye. Upon reviewing his resume I walked into court confident that I would be walking back out with my license. You will be updated and kept in the loop at all stages of your trial and be offered the best opportunity of a win on your court date.

I hired Wasqas from WA Legal to work on my criminal case and I cannot recommend him enough. From our very first consultation, Wasqas was transparent, highly responsive and took the time to explain every step of a complex legal process in plain English. What stood out was his dedication and calm demeanour during a very stressful time for me. He was quick to answer my questions and kept me fully informed of any updates. If you need a skilled and trustworthy lawyer, who genuinely cares about their clients, then look no further. I would highly recommend this firm.
