Top 10 of 2,123 law firms for Not Guilty Plea, Crime/ Criminal Defence

Law firms ranked by client reviews

A Not Guilty Plea covers situations where a person accused of a crime does not admit the charges and asks the court to decide their guilt after evidence is reviewed. A solicitor in England and Wales explains the case, advises on the plea, coordinates disclosure, and represents the client at hearings and trials. They prepare a defence strategy, review police evidence, question witnesses, and ensure the defendant’s rights are protected in magistrates’ or crown court proceedings. The aim is to secure an acquittal or the best possible outcome at trial.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decision at trial can determine a person’s freedom, future criminal record, and immigration or employment prospects. A solicitor protects the client by scrutinising prosecution disclosures, applying legal standards for admissibility, and conducting robust cross-examination. They also manage deadlines, file relevant notices, and present a clear case for innocence or reasonable doubt within the court’s procedures.

Anna MacKay

Tagged solicitor Anna MacKay

Anna defended me to a not guilty for a section 3 and BoP that I was falsely accused of. She was professional and understanding whilst being completely honest and realistic in what possible outcomes may come. She understood the difficulties and stress that my family and I were going through and what was coming. She mitigated these excellently. I will be forever grateful to her for what she done. An absolute life saver and a consummate professional. Thanks you.

Loretta Woollams

Tagged solicitor Loretta Woollams

Where do I start. I was charged and remanded for the alleged offence of kidnap. My life was put on hold and I was placed in forest bank HMP. I was innocent. Wrongly accused and truly distraught. Being placed in an environment where I was scared & angry. Loretta helped me remain positive throughout my experience to the point. She stood her ground and when needed kept me in line. Which I truly respect. I am grateful for all she did for my family and myself and ultimately appreciate all the hard work she & my barrister put in. Forcing the prosecution to drop the case. As there was no evidence. So all I can truly say is. THANK YOU

Kind understanding and professional support from Megan Wright helped me to defend myself and clear all the accusations against me which were thrown out with no further action, against unlikely odds. Great support would highly recommend. Thanks

Mark Hopwell did a wonderful job for me by creating a representation to the DBS who had been intending to bar me. Mark was always available to give good advice throughout the whole procedure. I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

Levent Kemal

Tagged solicitor Levent Kemal

Mr Kemal took over our case when we opted to take it to Crown Court, as we knew the defendant was always innocent. The barrister appointed by Mr Kemal was fantastic, caring, and gave thorough and considered advice throughout the process as well as instructions to Gepps to appoint various experts which proved crucial. Mr Kemal and his amazing team at Gepp's Solicitors made the defence of this case come to the conclusion it came to, in a not guilty verdict before the trial took place. Hopefully we will not need to ever use the services of Gepp's criminal department ever again, but I would highly recommend them to anyone facing the daunting task of being accused of a crime.

Georgina has been excellent in the support and help that she has given us. It has been a long and complicated process for us and she has be there all the way through. From the initial representation, she was professional, supportive, friendly, approachable, kind and compassionate. Always going the extra mile. She has chased things up many times on our behalf, under very difficult situations. She has kept us fully informed and always done what she said she would. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending her.
