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.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

The consequences of murder charges are severe, and a solicitor’s role includes safeguarding professional standards and accountability, managing client confidentiality, and ensuring proper handling of evidence and procedural steps. They rely on conduct of litigation rules, court procedures, and professional indemnity frameworks to support the client through investigations, disclosures, and advocacy.

Waqqas Ashraf

Tagged solicitor Waqqas Ashraf

I hired Wasqas from WA Legal to work on my criminal case and I cannot recommend him enough. From our very first consultation, Wasqas was transparent, highly responsive and took the time to explain every step of a complex legal process in plain English. What stood out was his dedication and calm demeanour during a very stressful time for me. He was quick to answer my questions and kept me fully informed of any updates. If you need a skilled and trustworthy lawyer, who genuinely cares about their clients, then look no further. I would highly recommend this firm.
