    General criminal defence covers representing individuals accused of crimes in England. A solicitor in this area helps from initial police station advice through to court appearances, advising on bail, pleas and potential defences, reviewing evidence, and negotiating with the Crown Prosecution Service. They draft and respond to claims, gather witnesses and expert evidence, and manage disclosure. The focus is on protecting the client’s rights, ensuring fair proceedings, and guiding strategic choices at each stage of the criminal process.

    “I had several cases handle by Leanne at Cartwright king, they were quite serious charges and today I’m finally free. The barristers are amazing especially Gary they definitely know their stuff, are sharp and on point. These guys are the reason I’m not locked up and I’m very grateful for the opportunity they have allowed me to have through their hard work. They’re very easy to deal with and communication is fast and efficient. I will definitely use this firm in the future if anything arises but not criminally I have learnt my lesson! I recommend Cartwright king to anyone who needs good legal advice or representation. ”

    “I’m truly grateful to Legalise-IT Solicitors for their outstanding support and professionalism. They recently assisted my brother as a duty solicitor, and thanks to their dedication and expertise, he was released promptly and treated fairly throughout the process. From the very beginning, Mr. Shakeel was calm, reassuring, and genuinely cared about our situation. He explained every step clearly, ensured my brother’s rights were fully protected, and kept us informed at all times. Their professionalism, compassion, and commitment made a very stressful experience much easier to handle. I couldn’t have asked for better representation. I highly recommend Legalise-IT Solicitors to anyone in need of reliable, knowledgeable, and truly supportive legal help.”
