    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. ”

    Daniel Woodman Works with Daniel Woodman
    “Had well over 15 trials and never lost one. (Lost two but won the appeals in crown court). He is the reason I have a clean licence. He is the reason I’ve never been to jail on many occasions. His name is known is any court in Bristol, bath and surrounding areas. His name is also known out for court for a solicitor that really cares about winning. Not just getting paid. If you value your freedom, driving license and criminal record then find out about Daniel Woodman. Also very knowledgeable in any other matter/aspect of life. I regularly ask him for advice in many matters. A* 10/10 Best about”
