Law firms ranked by client reviews
Sentence reduction covers challenging or shortening a prison sentence or order through the criminal appeal process in England. A solicitor investigates the sentence, identifies grounds for reduction, and drafts the appeal grounds to the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) or relevant tribunals, often supported by fresh evidence, mitigation, and legal argument. They liaise with the Crown Prosecution Service and the court, prepare witness and expert material, and represent the client at hearings. Outcomes hinge on legal error, new facts, or disproportionate sentencing.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key protection is the right to request a reconsideration of the sentence if a legal error occurred, or if new and compelling evidence warrants change. A properly argued appeal can adjust the sentence, halt further steps, or clarify legal principles. The process is time-bound and highly formal, with strict grounds and timelines, and regulated by the Court of Appeal rules and the Criminal Procedure Rules.
