Top 10 of 2,123 law firms for Murder and Manslaughter, Crime/ Criminal Defence

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers the most serious criminal offences involving death, including murder and manslaughter, investigated by the police and prosecuted by the Crown Prosecution Service. A solicitor in England will advise on the case, help secure bail where possible, review the evidence and police interview material, instruct experts, and represent the client at plea hearings and the trial in the Crown Court, challenging witness statements and guiding the defence strategy throughout. Proceedings are governed by criminal procedure in England and Wales, with the court process culminating in a Crown Court trial or a guilty plea with sentencing.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The stakes include a possible life sentence or long-term imprisonment, strict timelines for disclosure and disclosure-related decisions, and the risk of collateral consequences such as loss of liberty. A solicitor protects the client by examining evidential thresholds, managing disclosure and unused material, raising admissibility issues, and conducting robust advocacy at trial and sanction hearings, all within professional regulatory standards.

Keertan Gill

Tagged solicitor Keertan Gill

Expecting a long, drawn-out process, with a lot of tiresome questions, I cannot speak more highly of how my claim has been organised and dealt with, with the minimum of fuss. At its conclusion, and the award confirmed, reasons and explanations were given outlining the reasons, why's, and wherefore's, for the amount offered. I could not disagree, and every point was understood. From beginning to end, Winston Solicitors have been open and clear about everything, and though the award is hardly life changing at £3,750, it has made me content to feel that the grievous assault on me has awarded me some personal satisfaction after the Crown Court sentence gave me very little. Thank you Keertan and all at Winston Solicitors.

Had cause to require legal help recently and both my husband and myself cannot sing the praises of two individuals, Nichola Mctear and Kitty Shaw, highly enough. Both were very professional and supportive throughout.Can’t thank them enough. We would highly recommend this firm to everyone. Chris and Sue Hartley.

Nicholas Scullion

Tagged solicitor Nicholas Scullion

Recently asked the company to represent me on two occasions with regards my daughters Ex-boyfriend stalker the company charged me nothing because the case was dropped prior to court. The amount of work involved in the 3 visits to the office was deserved of several hundred pounds. I personally received 5 or 6 return calls from Nigel Scullion personally about the cases that never went ahead and excellent calming advice and case options and outcomes that may prevail helped my family cope with the situation. I Have looked at all the negative reviews before posting this comment and conclude that with the volume of work they take on that only the unhappy complain. If they asked people to post positive reviews then their star rating would be 4 or 5 rating. This family run business do not boast about their successful cases in which. I believe are many.

Rachel Fletcher

Tagged solicitor Rachel Fletcher

Rachel & the company are both professional & extremely personable. The support I received whilst going through this horrendous legal ordeal in my life was invaluable & my family & I will be eternally grateful. I’m 44 years old & never been in this position before so everything was alien to me! The whole process from being interviewed by the police through to being in court twice (5 months in total) Rachel & the company were fully supportive & contactable at all times. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her & the company.

I have been dealing with Chris Wong, honestly it has been the best experience and communication has been exceptional. I was invited to the police station on a Saturday morning and to have someone to come out on a weekend shows the level of loyalty. Thank you again Chris

Alan Ridler

Tagged solicitor Alan Ridler

From the very beginning Alan fully understood my case and was very supportive throughout. He always explained everything and regularly kept me updated. He reviewed all of my evidence and continuously fought to put my side across. With the support of Alan after a long 16 months investigation the matter was finally resolved. I cannot thank Alan enough for his support and the amount of time and effort he put into my case, which was beyond what I had expected, but I am very grateful that he did. He is an excellent solicitor.

Jen Law

Tagged solicitor Jen Law

I required a solicitor at very short notice at Bideford Police Station and my wife called the office. They mentioned they would get in touch with Jen and I called her to explain circumstances. Jen turned up very quickly and was very helpful and the case was closed. Thank you Jen for your help I really appreciated it.
