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.

Joanne Gibbons

Tagged solicitor Joanne Gibbons

I honestly don’t have the words to fully express how grateful I am to IBB Crime with HAL Solicitors. From the first phone call, I felt supported, listened to, and treated with real human compassion by Joanne Gibbons and her team. What I was facing was overwhelming, but they never made me feel like just another case. They truly cared. Emily Miles, in particular, was extraordinary. She brought not just sharp legal insight, but kindness, calm, and unwavering commitment. Her guidance kept me grounded through the darkest moments, and in court, she was nothing short of brilliant, measured, prepared, and completely in control. Watching her work gave me confidence when I had very little of my own left. Throughout everything, I knew I was in safe hands. The result spoke volumes about the care, effort, and professionalism that Emily, Joanne, and the entire team put into every step of the process. If you’re ever in need of someone to fight for you, not just legally, but with empathy and integrity, this is who you want standing beside you. I will never forget what they did for me.

Suzie Jensen

Tagged solicitor Suzie Jensen

Suzie was my duty solicitor at the police station. Before meeting her I was very concerned as to what quality of solicitor I would be provided with but she soon dispelled that as she clearly knew her stuff. Not only was she professional but she was also sensitive to the situation. She not only provided the best advice but she listened to me too. It was very reassuring to have someone so competent and sensitive on my side. Thank you, Suzie.
