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.

Having dealt with Ethan and Jack at Hammond Trotter, the process of dealing with a Single Justice Procedure was very straight forward with excellent clear and action oriented communication throughout. Very reassuring about what to expect and how to manage any further actions, the process was smooth and ultimately , very successful! Very grateful to Ethan and team.

Beth Vaughan

Tagged solicitor Beth Vaughan

I cannot recommend Beth Vaughan at Albin & co highly enough. From the moment I first contacted their office, they demonstrated nothing but professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to justice. I was facing a serious criminal charge that could have changed the course of my life – but thanks to Beth and her team's incredible legal acumen, the case was successfully dismissed. Throughout the entire process, they were clear, reassuring, and always one step ahead. They took the time to explain every detail, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I felt supported and informed at every stage. Their ability to build a strong defence, challenge the prosecution's case, and present the facts with precision and confidence was truly outstanding. What impressed me most was their unwavering dedication – they went above and beyond to fight for the best possible outcome, and I genuinely believe I couldn’t have been in better hands. Thanks to Beth I now have my freedom, peace of mind, and a second chance. If you're in need of someone who will fight for you with skill, integrity, and determination, look no further.

Martin WalkerStephen Scully

Tagged solicitors Martin Walker and Stephen Scully

Had 2 court appearances where I was represented by Mr Scully, while the court appearances themselves were short and simple, outside of the courtroom Mr Scully was extremely helpful in explaining all the necessary details in a way that I could easily understand, the previous solicitor for this case, Mr Walker, often explained things that would leave me almost just as clueless as before (though this isn’t to say Mr Walker isn’t a great solicitor, as he represented me at the police station and was extremely helpful in that situation) I would like to thank Mr Scully for helping me with this situation in court and explaining things perfectly for me, as well as being very kind and respectful.

Bhumika Parmar (Director & Solicitor) Mrs Harpreet Sanghera (Solicitor) Lucy Payne (Jnr Paralegal) BP Legal is a well-experienced legal team. My case was administered within three weeks of attending the court with a positive outcome. All three named were very client-focused and were courteous. They explained my case well before the court appointment, at the hearing and after the client support. They have competitive costs and are a very reliable legal firm. Thank you so much.
