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.

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.

Gareth Needs and his team were very helpful and clear in all the advise given. They were as much concerned about my personal welfare as much as the criminal case I was accused of. Hopefully I wont need his help again but would recommend him to anyone else who found themselves in the same situation I was in.

Amanda SheppardKatelyn Mcloughlin

Tagged solicitors Amanda Sheppard and Katelyn Mcloughlin

I was lucky enough to have been assigned Amanda as my duty solicitor after being arrested in December, accused of an offense that could have put me in prison for 6 months. Before my police interview she calmed my nerves and talked me through exactly what they would ask and how to tackle their questions - instantly I knew she was on my side. In the interview she wasn't afraid to correct the interviewing officer, ensuring the record was kept straight. I was charged with the offence and given a court date. I rang Amanda straight away to tell her and the first thing she said was 'we are going to fight this' - and that she did. In meetings after being charged, she informed me of all the possible outcomes whilst staying incredibly positive that the case wouldn't stand up in court. I plead not guilty and elected the Crown Court as advised, at which point I was appointed Barrister Oliver Saddington to represent me, who also assured me the case would not go anywhere - he continued the fight and eventually got the CPS to admit they could not persue the case against me, and I was found not guilty. A massive thank you to Amanda and Katelyn for their support, expert advice, and all the hard work they put in to my case whilst keeping me aware of exactly what was happening at all times, responding quickly at any time of day - a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders and while I hope I won't have to use their services again, I know exactly who I'm going to if anything does happen to me or anyone I know. Thank you again, Joe

Anna Matelska

Tagged solicitor Anna Matelska

Mrs Anna, as my official defender in front of the Crown Court in London, helped me to avoid the severe penalty of at least 4 years in prison, which is given for in a similar cases in which I got involved. Thanks to Mrs. Anna I am free. I am glad to recommend Mrs. Anna Matelska as an attorney-at law to anyone who needs a good lawyer in an English court.

Waqqas Ashraf

Tagged solicitor Waqqas Ashraf

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.
