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.

Never had to have dealings with a solicitor before for any reason, and certainly no previous knowledge of the court process. However, what I didn't know was explained properly when I asked.

I cannot fault the service I was given by everyone at this firm. I was totally confident in their abilities and was exposed to just how bad other solicitors were so I had a solid comparison.
