Top 10 of 2,123 law firms for Sentence Reduction, Crime/ Criminal Defence

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.

John Stokes

Tagged solicitor John Stokes

I was a victim of a crime carried out by a gang. I was forced to protect and defend myself against one of them. They falsely accused me of assault. It was a leghty case but Mr John Stokes was very respectful and patient with me throughout the ordeal. He took time to go through all of my evidence and was able to file a character reference on my behalf to court. After taking the case to trial, I was completely exonerated of all charges. As I told John, if I get in trouble again, I will call on him. Nice work John.

Stephen Scully

Tagged solicitor Stephen Scully

I was looking at a Custodial Sentence today but Steve Skully saved me and I ended up with a good result. I have always used Wade solicitors but Steve is always quick and efficient with responses and keeping you at ease while waiting for sentencing. I always trust that Steve will save the day and he has always gotten me the best results in all of my cases. 5 stars. If you ever find yourself in Court, Steve and Wade Solictiors is definitely the go to.

Gareth Needs and his team were very helpful and clear in all the advise given. They were as much concerned about my personal welfare as much as the criminal case I was accused of. Hopefully I wont need his help again but would recommend him to anyone else who found themselves in the same situation I was in.
