Law firms ranked by client reviews

Criminal defence for individuals facing prosecutions brought by the Crown Prosecution Service in England. It covers preparation for trial, bail applications, disclosure and evidence challenges, and representation in magistrates’ courts and the Crown Court. A solicitor in this area guides clients through police interviews, advises on plea options, and coordinates with barristers for trial, sentence or appeal work. The aim is to protect a defendant’s rights and ensure the prosecution proves its case beyond reasonable doubt.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

A solicitor in criminal defence handles the procedural and evidential steps that follow a police investigation: reviewing the evidence, advising on charges, drafting and filing defence statements, organizing disclosure challenges, advising on bail and conditions, and instructing a barrister for trial or appeal. They represent the client in courts from Magistrates’ to the Crown Court, prepare witnesses, and negotiate with the Crown Prosecution Service to achieve the best possible outcome within the law.

Keertan Gill

Tagged solicitor Keertan Gill

Expecting a long, drawn-out process, with a lot of tiresome questions, I cannot speak more highly of how my claim has been organised and dealt with, with the minimum of fuss. At its conclusion, and the award confirmed, reasons and explanations were given outlining the reasons, why's, and wherefore's, for the amount offered. I could not disagree, and every point was understood. From beginning to end, Winston Solicitors have been open and clear about everything, and though the award is hardly life changing at £3,750, it has made me content to feel that the grievous assault on me has awarded me some personal satisfaction after the Crown Court sentence gave me very little. Thank you Keertan and all at Winston Solicitors.

Rachel Mason

Tagged solicitor Rachel Mason

I spoke to Rachel in relation to a criminal matter that I had been arrested for. I had never been in this situation before and found it extremely distressing. Rachel dealt with my case without judgement and was very helpful, reassuring and professional throughout. She took over all communication with the police which took a lot of the stress out of the situation. This resulted in no charge being made and the matter being dropped by the police with no further action. I cant recommend Rachel highly enough.

Chris Wong

Tagged solicitor Chris Wong

My wife and I had to endure over 7 years of stress after false accusations were made against me concerning my time at a boarding school last century. Throughout this ordeal the staff at Howells, particularly Chris Wong, were absolutely superb. The barristers appointed to my case went above and beyond in their striving to clear my name…Chris was the reassuring anchor to the whole situation

I am very grateful to Gepp Solicitors for the professionalism and dedication shown during my case. Liz Bradshaw and the team were highly responsive, keeping me informed at every step of the legal process. Their expertise and guidance resulted in a positive outcome, with my case being discontinued. I felt supported and confident throughout, knowing I had a knowledgeable and compassionate team behind me. I highly recommend Gepp Solicitors to anyone seeking legal assistance.
