General criminal work covers defence and immediate representation for individuals facing criminal charges across the criminal courts. A solicitor practising in this area handles case work from initial police station advice and bail applications to advising at trial in the Magistrates’ Court and, for more serious matters, in the Crown Court. They prepare cases, instruct experts, gather and file evidence, and negotiate or respond to pleas and mitigating factors, always protecting the client’s position in relation to possible custodial outcomes, fines, and ancillary orders.

I can see how your profile matches your personality Senior Associate, Head of Crown & described as an ‘Affable’ Lawyer ‘A Rising Star’ No surprise! Your reputation proceeds you.
