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.

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.

Beth Vaughan

Tagged solicitor Beth Vaughan

Beth was absolutely amazing throughout dealing with my case. I got the best possible outcome I could have wanted. Beth was very understanding and did not judge the situation. I could be 100% honest and she kept me informed throughout. I could not recommend her enough. She was amazing and thank you again Beth.

Daniel Woodman

Tagged solicitor 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

Ryan KhairaStephen Scully

Tagged solicitors Ryan Khaira and Stephen Scully

After being charged with criminal damage to a police station I was very close to pleading guilty until the team effort at Wade Solicitors turned the case around with their expert knowledge of Human Rights Law and Protesting, and after one mis-trial, I was found not guilty after a full trial. I felt as if I was being represented by the best lawyers that money could buy, yet they got legal aid for me. Restored my faith in the criminal justice system.

My case was administered within three weeks of attending the court with a positive outcome. All three named were very client-focused and were courteous. They explained my case well before the court appointment, at the hearing and after the client support. They have competitive costs and are a very reliable legal firm. Thank you so much.
