Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

Criminal proceedings involve time-sensitive decisions that can lead to custodial sentences or serious lifelong consequences. A solicitor in this area ensures lawful handling of bail, disclosure, and plea negotiations, and advocates at hearings and trials, supported by regulatory standards, client confidentiality, and professional accountability. The solicitor may instruct counsel for advocacy in higher courts and manages evidence and witness preparation to advance the client’s defence.

Mohammed Ullah

Tagged solicitor Mohammed Ullah

I honestly can’t thank Mohammed enough for everything he did throughout my case. Going through a joint enterprise criminal case was one of the most stressful and frightening experiences I’ve ever had. Mohammed was not only professional and knowledgeable but genuinely supportive. From the very beginning, I felt listened to and taken seriously. Mohammed took the time to explain things, answer my questions and to provide reassurance. This wasn’t just another case for him, he cared about helping me and achieving the best possible outcome. He takes a holistic approach which includes not only support for his client but also their family. His hard work, dedication and commitment gave me confidence during a very difficult period in my life. He communicated effectively and advocated for me where I needed him to. I will always be grateful for the way Mohammed and ULA Solicitors supported me. I would highly recommend ULA Solicitors to anyone who finds themselves in a difficult situation and needs someone they can trust. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything.

Cheryl Zanatti

Tagged solicitor Cheryl Zanatti

I WISH ALL SOLICITORS were so professional. I have waited seventeen years to progress my appeal, and thankfully at long, long last I found these solicitors. I telephoned the office this morning. The receptionist was absolutely lovely, and re directed my call immediately to the right department for me to receive an update. The lady who I should perhaps not mention by name, (without her permission) couldn’t have been more helpful. What ever happens with my appeal case, I feel very confident that if any positive outcome can be achieved in light of substantial new facts (recently emerging) there is no solicitor that I have found, who can match this company. Thank You for your helpfulness and compassion.
