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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The stakes are high: a conviction can carry fines, community penalties or imprisonment. A solicitor defends the client’s position by ensuring lawful conduct of investigations, timely disclosure of evidence, proper charging and robust representation in court, with attention to deadlines and procedural safeguards. They conduct consults, obtain and review material, and raise appropriate objections to protect the client throughout the case.

Fiona Almazedi

Tagged solicitor Fiona Almazedi

During my experience, my solicitor Fiona Almazedi was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning she was kind, caring, and genuinely supportive, which made a very stressful situation much easier for me. She always took the time to explain things and made me feel listened to and reassured. In court she was extremely capable and confident, and she did an incredible job for me. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor and I’m very grateful for everything she did.
