    This work covers the full response to criminal investigation and charge in England, from arrest and police station attendance and pre‑charge advice through magistrates' courts, Crown Court trials, sentence hearings and appeals. Solicitors advise under PACE, attend and conduct police interviews, apply for bail, prepare and serve disclosure requests under the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act, draft witness statements and skeleton arguments, instruct experts, negotiate with the Crown Prosecution Service and represent clients at trial and sentence. Progress is driven by disclosure, plea choices and custodial timetables.

    “I would highly recommend Mr Ullah and the firm ULA. Mr Ullah definitely knows his stuff and I'm glad he represented my child. With me being such an over anxious parent, he reassured me everything would be okay. On top of supporting us, one of which was very last minute, which I am extremely grateful for, with positive results. Thank you again Mr Ullah for your support.”
