This work covers defending people charged with criminal offences in England's Magistrates' Court. A solicitor prepares and presents the defence, negotiates with the Crown Prosecution Service, and handles bail applications, early guilty pleas, and mitigation at sentencing. They gather evidence, review police disclosures, and ensure the client’s rights are protected throughout the process as the matter moves toward a verdict or sentence.

“Paul Dillon was first point of contact with Lawtons. He was very helpful, gave me good advice regarding the procedure that l would have to go through once at Magistrates court. The barrister l was appointed was on his recommendation was also very professional and again gave me good advice. Fortunately my case was dismissed before it got to Crown Court. The advice and help l received from Paul, Patrick and Beth was invaluable. An extremely unpleasant and worrying experience had a very good outcome. Thank you Lawtons Solicitors.”

Consultant Solicitor
“Words cannot express how grateful I am for Richard Nelson LLP. I came to them while i was under a desperate situation and had no knowledge of the legal procedures. From the 1st email enquiry to the trial, Jacqui Callan's team where nothing but supportive, and very professional. I had consistent and updates and always great communication from the team. Mr Gibbs made time to answer any question I and my family had, I felt Megan was so approachable and we could tell we were in great hands. I always felt included in meetings and felt confident in the representation that was given to me. The team saved me from the worst experience of my life after being falsely and maliciously accused of a crime. The team worked hard during the criminal trial. I also experience working with Victoria regarding my professional body. Victoria was very quick and efficient in her responses. She was always there to explain procedures, reassure me and also cared about my general well being. The professionalism, work ethic and general care of clients is of the highest standard I have ever seen. I have learned so much and I am so grateful to the whole firm. I literally thank God for everyone, they saved my life. ”

“ Patricia has been an exceptional solicitor throughout my partner’s legal proceedings. Her expertise and dedication were evident from our very first meeting. She possesses a remarkable ability to simplify complex legal jargon into understandable terms, which greatly eased my concerns. Her attention to detail is second to none, ensuring that no stone was left unturned. Patricia’s strategic thinking and proactive approach were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome in his case. Her professionalism and empathy not only provided legal support but also emotional reassurance during stressful times. I am immensely grateful for Patricia’s hard work and would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of legal assistance. Her commitment to her clients and passion for the law are truly commendable. The rest of the team we already met are absolutely fantastic so far ! Thank you all ”

Philip Kouvaritakis
Associate Solicitor
“Philip’s support for our son during a distressing time was exceptional. His advice was clear, knowledgeable and shared without jargon. He was empathetic, listened without judgement and demonstrated flexibility around our availability. In court he was excellently prepared, confident and clearly well-known and liked among court staff in Reading Magistrates Court. The outcome secured for our son was the best we could have hoped for. His sound advice also led to him negotiatiating an out of court settlement for a more serious offence. We would instruct Philip again without hesitation.”

“Many, many thanks for all your help. I engaged SGK following my son being charged with serious drug related offences. Of course this is a time of great worry and stress when clear and coherent advice and guidance is essential. I am happy to say that we got that and more from the professionals at SGK, in particular Michael. They reassured us and made the whole frightening legal process manageable. I am pleased to report that my son achieved the outcome we were aiming for, ie a non-custodial sentence. I can highly recommend SGK”
