This area covers the rights a person has in criminal proceedings, including the right to a fair trial, access to legal advice, and protections against police powers. It explains what a solicitor does to safeguard those rights, from arranging representation and guiding bail decisions to challenging evidence, ensuring proper disclosure, and supporting the person through custody, court appearances, and any appeals.
Where a solicitor protects your position
Criminal proceedings can determine freedom and legal status. A solicitor ensures continuities of representation, helps secure bail where appropriate, scrutinises police disclosure, and supports timely, lawful progression through the court process, including potential appeals. They operate within regulated frameworks, with professional accountability, client accounts, and rights of audience in court to protect the individual's position at every stage.
