Top 10 of 2,123 law firms for Pleas, Crime/ Criminal Defence

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers the plea stage in criminal cases in England, where a defendant may decide to plead guilty or not guilty and negotiate with the CPS about charges and sentence. A solicitor practicing in pleas advises at every stage, represents the client at Magistrates’ Court and Crown Court plea hearings, handles bail applications, and presents mitigation to the court. They gather evidence, review disclosure, and coordinate with experts or witnesses to support the chosen path.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

They identify viable pleas, assess the strength of the prosecution case, and advise on potential sentence outcomes and defences. They draft and lodge plea explanations, request further disclosure if needed, negotiate with the Crown Prosecution Service, arrange pre-sentence reports or specialist assessments, and coordinate mitigation to secure the best possible outcome. They accompany the client to hearings, cross-examine where appropriate, and manage timelines for disposition and appeal if required.

As is often the case, one is in need of legal services when one is in an unfamiliar and stressful situation. The way my representative handled my preparation to face the issue and to handle the difficult process was exemplary, and made me feel fully prepared and in control.

I cannot fault the service I was given by everyone at this firm. I was totally confident in their abilities and was exposed to just how bad other solicitors were so I had a solid comparison.

During every step of their service, Abbie from Cartwright King kept good communication and steered me in the right direction by giving sound advice. I would use them again.
