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.

The focus is on protecting the client’s rights, ensuring fair proceedings, and guiding strategic choices at each stage of the criminal process.

Abby Fowler

Tagged solicitor Abby Fowler

After searching for a lawyer, I contacted Kidwells of Hereford, I'm pleased to say it was definitely the right decision. I first met michael Horne who explained the legality of my case and guided me through what could happen and from that point on Micheal was always available with full and clear explanations at every stage. I then met Abby Washbourne who is Micheal's trainee lawyer, I have to say Abby has been an absolute star, she worked tirelessly putting the huge amount of information and evidence together for my case, Abby would always be on hand if I needed anything, sometimes working late or on weekends. They not only cared on a professional level but also on a personal level and gave me a great deal of reassurance and support when needed. With the help and care of both Micheal and Abby we got the result I deserved and needed. I would not hesitate recommending both Micheal Horne and Abby Washbourne. Thank you both so much,

Maciej Dadynski

Tagged solicitor Maciej Dadynski

The legal representation provided by Maciej Dadynsky was highly professional and effective. Two of the three charges were successfully dropped, and the guidance offered throughout the process contributed to a very favourable outcome. Communication was clear everytime, and the overall support was greatly appreciated. I am very happy that I have chosen IMD Solicitors.

With total honesty and integrity I can and will highly recommend Cuffaro and Harris. After speaking with Stuart cooper, I was immediately reasurred and felt confident Ihad the right man for the job. I was made to feel valued, Mr Cooper listened, and kept me up to speed on everything. Mr Cooper does not mess around in court, he takes no nonsense, and is direct. Mr Cooper took immediate command of the courts attention, and attention to the finest details was observed and acted upon. Stuart Cooper and thank you Cuffaro and Harris

Claire Shard

Tagged solicitor Claire Shard

I rang Eventum Legal for some advice and discuss my options over a recent case. Claire answered my call on a Sunday evening and was so reassuring and helpful, and she really helped calm my nerves giving me all my options and explaining the pricing clearly although it seemed a high price I’ve not used this type of service before so I was unsure on how much the average should be. She did not pressure me into signing up, but made it clear of all the things they would be able to do for me. In the end I did not need to use the service as the case was dropped very quickly but it was great to know that the help was there should I have needed it. Thanks Claire for everything you did !
