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.
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.

Tagged solicitor John Ruane
I was stopped for drink driving and provided a road side specimen for the police. The reading recorded at the roadside showed I was more than two times over the limit. I was then taken to the police station where I was charged with failing to provide a sample. Contacting JHR Solicitors was the best decision I could of made, John gave me clear advice of the service he could provide and the possible outcome for my case. John was professional and provided a first class service, which was easy to understand with his great legal knowledge. Thanks to John's hard work and proactiveness I was found not guilty and my case was acquitted. I would highly recommend JHR solicitors and I would defiantly use again.

Mrs Anna, as my official defender in front of the Crown Court in London, helped me to avoid the severe penalty of at least 4 years in prison, which is given for in a similar cases in which I got involved. Thanks to Mrs. Anna I am free. I am glad to recommend Mrs. Anna Matelska as an attorney-at law to anyone who needs a good lawyer in an English court.

Tagged solicitor Waqqas Ashraf
I hired Wasqas from WA Legal to work on my criminal case and I cannot recommend him enough. From our very first consultation, Wasqas was transparent, highly responsive and took the time to explain every step of a complex legal process in plain English. What stood out was his dedication and calm demeanour during a very stressful time for me. He was quick to answer my questions and kept me fully informed of any updates. If you need a skilled and trustworthy lawyer, who genuinely cares about their clients, then look no further. I would highly recommend this firm.
