Prosecution Defense covers the work of defending people charged with crimes. A criminal defence solicitor represents the accused, prepares statements and alibis, reviews disclosure, negotiates with the Crown Prosecution Service, applies for bail, and represents the client at hearings, plea negotiations, trials, and appeals in magistrates' courts and the Crown Court. They advise on evidence, procedures, and possible outcomes throughout the criminal process.

“Paul Dillon was first point of contact with Lawtons. He was very helpful, gave me good advice regarding the procedure that l would have to go through once at Magistrates court. The barrister l was appointed was on his recommendation was also very professional and again gave me good advice. Fortunately my case was dismissed before it got to Crown Court. The advice and help l received from Paul, Patrick and Beth was invaluable. An extremely unpleasant and worrying experience had a very good outcome. Thank you Lawtons Solicitors.”

“Leanne helped me through the process from the beginning. I initially made contact and she took the case on board with me. She then initiated and took over the communications with the interviewer and organising dates for my interview. During this time she stayed composed with pure professionalism and replied to any worries and queries I had leading up to towards my interview date. On the day of my interview, she briefed me on the case and gave me precise legal advise which helped during the process. She showed empathy and expressed great communication and interpersonal skills. She was also quick to correct and ensure the interview stayed on course when the interviewer outlined irrelevant false statements. After the interview she also graced me with other advice based on situations surrounding the case. I know she didn't need to give me such advice but I am nonetheless grateful for her expertise and support! Thank you, Leanne! ”

“Ameeta was so kind, calming and reassuring in what was a very serious and distressing situation, the advise given was invaluable and as the matter progressed her representation was superb, assisting in bringing the matter to a successful conclusion for myself. Should anyone need a defence solicitor I cannot think of anyone better to instruct.”
