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.

Rachel Diorio

Tagged solicitor Rachel Diorio

We cannot thank Rachel enough for the support she has given my son and our family. From the very beginning, Rachel has been absolutely brilliant. My son has ADHD and can find stressful and unfamiliar situations particularly difficult, so having someone like Rachel supporting him made a huge difference. Her response time has been exceptional, and she has been there for us even during the early hours of the morning when we were dealing with a very stressful situation. She provided excellent support and reassurance while helping my son through his police interview, helping to settle his nerves and making sure he understood what was happening. She was patient, understanding and took the time to explain things in a way he could understand. Her legal advice throughout has been clear, professional and extremely helpful. She has also provided excellent support and guidance throughout my son’s court case, always taking the time to explain things clearly and keeping us informed. This has been an incredibly difficult and worrying experience for our family, but Rachel’s support, professionalism and availability made a huge difference. We have felt listened to, supported and reassured throughout. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a solicitor who is responsive, caring, knowledgeable and understanding, particularly when supporting a young person with additional needs such as ADHD.
