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.

Rachel Diorio

Tagged solicitor Rachel Diorio

We cannot thank Rachel enough for the support she has given my son and our family. From the very beginning, Rachel has been absolutely brilliant. My son has ADHD and can find stressful and unfamiliar situations particularly difficult, so having someone like Rachel supporting him made a huge difference. Her response time has been exceptional, and she has been there for us even during the early hours of the morning when we were dealing with a very stressful situation. She provided excellent support and reassurance while helping my son through his police interview, helping to settle his nerves and making sure he understood what was happening. She was patient, understanding and took the time to explain things in a way he could understand. Her legal advice throughout has been clear, professional and extremely helpful. She has also provided excellent support and guidance throughout my son’s court case, always taking the time to explain things clearly and keeping us informed. This has been an incredibly difficult and worrying experience for our family, but Rachel’s support, professionalism and availability made a huge difference. We have felt listened to, supported and reassured throughout. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a solicitor who is responsive, caring, knowledgeable and understanding, particularly when supporting a young person with additional needs such as ADHD.

Stephen Mark Oldham

Tagged solicitor Stephen Mark Oldham

Mr Oldham is a very composed and honest person. You will tell that he is not after your money. He will become part of your daily life and explain to you what to expect. Just a family man. I was expecting a prison sentence, but now I am writing this for you as a free person. Trust him and you will be fine.
