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.

Fiona Almazedi

Tagged solicitor Fiona Almazedi

During my experience, my solicitor Fiona Almazedi was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning she was kind, caring, and genuinely supportive, which made a very stressful situation much easier for me. She always took the time to explain things and made me feel listened to and reassured. In court she was extremely capable and confident, and she did an incredible job for me. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor and I’m very grateful for everything she did.

Elliot Hammer

Tagged solicitor Elliot Hammer

I was harassed by a malicious troll attempting, at great length and persisting for several years, to have me prosecuted for some perfectly lawful tweets. Elliot was a rock, completely on top of the brief and very supportive even after the troll also started harassing him. Would highly recommend.
