Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Amrit Jandoo

Tagged solicitor Amrit Jandoo

Exceptional service from start to finish. Amrit Jandoo is efficient and thorough and clearly incredibly experienced at what he does. He cuts through emotion and gets to the root of the issue quickly. I would highly recommend CW Booth for any criminal matters and hopefully we won’t ever need his service again but if we did, we would not use anyone else.

Olivia BriarStefan Simms

Tagged solicitors Olivia Briar and Stefan Simms

My experience overall with BRGP has been amazing from starting enquiry to case closed. Both Olivia and Ellis gave timely responses to all emails and were understanding. My assigned solicitor Stefan Simms was incredibly knowledgeable and very reassuring from my first meeting with him right through to the finished court case. Stefan took onboard everything and explored every option to enable effective mitigation including previous case law for my particular case. Stefan made sure that all options available to me were explained and understood clearly so that when the time came he could represent my case efficiently and effectively to secure the best possible outcome - which he did. Stefan made the entire physical process of seeing a solicitor for the first time and being in court with one very comforting, pleasurable and reassuring even when it comes to mental health. 11/10
