    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.

    “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”
