Top 10 of 2,123 law firms for Trial Preparation, Crime/ Criminal Defence

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Trial preparation covers the steps a solicitor takes before a criminal trial to ensure the case is ready to proceed in the Crown Court or magistrates’ court. A solicitor collects and checks evidence, interviews witnesses, drafts statements, requests and reviews disclosure, and prepares bundles of documents. They liaise with the Crown Prosecution Service, police, and expert witnesses, advise on pre-trial applications, and coordinate the defence case so it can be presented clearly at trial.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The act of preparing for trial often hinges on timely disclosure, careful handling of new or changing evidence, and protecting the client’s position against potential adverse findings or procedural missteps. A solicitor’s role includes ensuring compliance with the Criminal Procedure Rules, safeguarding legal rights, and managing the sequence of steps that determine whether a case proceeds to an actual trial or is resolved earlier by plea or other disposition.

Rachel Diorio

Tagged solicitor Rachel Diorio

We cannot thank Rachel enough for the support she has given my son and our family. From the very beginning, Rachel has been absolutely brilliant. My son has ADHD and can find stressful and unfamiliar situations particularly difficult, so having someone like Rachel supporting him made a huge difference. Her response time has been exceptional, and she has been there for us even during the early hours of the morning when we were dealing with a very stressful situation. She provided excellent support and reassurance while helping my son through his police interview, helping to settle his nerves and making sure he understood what was happening. She was patient, understanding and took the time to explain things in a way he could understand. Her legal advice throughout has been clear, professional and extremely helpful. She has also provided excellent support and guidance throughout my son’s court case, always taking the time to explain things clearly and keeping us informed. This has been an incredibly difficult and worrying experience for our family, but Rachel’s support, professionalism and availability made a huge difference. We have felt listened to, supported and reassured throughout. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a solicitor who is responsive, caring, knowledgeable and understanding, particularly when supporting a young person with additional needs such as ADHD.

Stephen Mark Oldham

Tagged solicitor Stephen Mark Oldham

Stephen was able to assess the pertinent aspects of the case extremely well and represented me brilliantly in the trial. I would not hesitate to recommend him. You may find solicitors making bold promises of finding loopholes (guess what, even "celebrities" with unlimited budgets are convicted). You may also find other solicitors that are very cheap (I can't comment on what their services would be like, but cannot fault Stephen's approach). Stephen was very realistic about the potential outcomes and was a superb advocate for me on the day such that it was a good overall result, despite the circumstances. All I can say is that my experience of using Stephen was second to none and that anyone wavering should not hesitate to use his services.
