This work covers defending someone charged with murder, the most serious criminal offence in England and Wales. A solicitor practising murder defence represents the defendant at police stations, in custody and in court from first appearance to trial, including bail applications, trial preparation, and instructions to experts. They gather and review forensic evidence, interview witnesses, and liaise with the Crown Prosecution Service and the court to advance a coherent defence and protect the client’s rights at every stage. The approach is shaped by the gravity of the charge and the potential consequences.

“Hasan represented me in relation to a dangerous driving case involving extremely serious allegations. The incident involved driving at dangerous speeds with my vehicle door open, colliding with police and other vehicles, and a prolonged police pursuit, all while I was already on police bail for unrelated matters. From the outset, Hasan gave me clear, honest advice that it was in my best interests to plead guilty in order to receive maximum credit. He worked tirelessly on my case, obtaining a psychological report that provided compelling mitigation and taking detailed character references from my family and friends to present the strongest possible case on my behalf. At court, Hasan’s advocacy was exceptional. Thanks to the mitigation he prepared and the way he presented my case, I received a suspended sentence instead of immediate custody. The judge expressly stated that I would have been sent to prison had it not been for the mitigation put forward. I genuinely believe I owe my liberty to Hasan. I cannot thank him enough for his professionalism, dedication, and outstanding representation. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an exceptional defence solicitor.”
