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.

My husband and I cannot recommend or thank Mr Jandoo and his legal colleague Miss Lamballe enough. They guided us through what was an extremely difficult and stressful legal issue, with confidence and care and secured the outcome we had hoped for. Many many thanks, Mr and Mrs Lamb

Olivia BriarStefan Simms

Tagged solicitors Olivia Briar and Stefan Simms

My experience overall with BRGP has been amazing from starting enquiry to case closed. Both Olivia and Ellis gave timely responses to all emails and were understanding. My assigned solicitor Stefan Simms was incredibly knowledgeable and very reassuring from my first meeting with him right through to the finished court case. Stefan took onboard everything and explored every option to enable effective mitigation including previous case law for my particular case. Stefan made sure that all options available to me were explained and understood clearly so that when the time came he could represent my case efficiently and effectively to secure the best possible outcome - which he did. Stefan made the entire physical process of seeing a solicitor for the first time and being in court with one very comforting, pleasurable and reassuring even when it comes to mental health. 11/10
