    This area covers what happens before a person is charged with a crime, including early police interview advice and decisions about bail and next steps. A solicitor in England who practises pre-charge work helps a client understand the rights during custody, attends police stations, advises on potential cautions, and engages with the Crown Prosecution Service on possible charging options. They also review early disclosure and prepare for future court or tribunal proceedings if charges are brought.

    “Nicola made me and my child under 16 feel so relaxed and comfortable. The police were pursuing a section 39 common assualt charge against my child for an incident in school. Nicola made sure that no charges were made against my daughter and talked us through the whole process before the police interview. She is absolutely amazing in her job and is 100% dedicated to supporting her client. Cant thank her enough and absolutely recommend her. ”
