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.

Zaine El Hassan Riaz

Tagged solicitor Zaine El Hassan Riaz

I cannot recommend Zaine highly enough. He represented me in a case where I was accused of theft, and his expertise made all the difference to the outcome. Zaine carefully challenged the admissibility of the CCTV evidence, highlighting that it had not been properly exhibited. Without this key evidence, the prosecution were unable to prove identification. His attention to detail and deep understanding of the law were truly impressive. What stood out most was how articulate, knowledgeable, and composed he was in court. He handled the CPS with confidence and had complete control of the courtroom throughout proceedings, which gave me a great sense of reassurance during a very stressful time. I would highly recommend Zaine to anyone in need of legal representation and would not hesitate to use Upright Morris again if necessary.

Claire and Jessica were very professional and supportive throughout. They would answer my questions and guided me through the investigation which eventually led to a no further action. Couldn't have asked for better and would highly recommend.

I was remanded in for approximately 13 months in a high court case. I changed my lawyer to John kilcoyne. I had a brilliant QC in high court and was found not guilty. Only for John I could have got years in prison
