Top 10 of 1,006 law firms for Sentencing Hearings, Criminal Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Sentencing hearings cover how a convicted person is punished for a crime, including how long a sentence is and what conditions apply. In England, a solicitor working in this area drafts and submits mitigation, represents the client at the sentencing hearing, and handles applications for factors such as remorse, cooperation, or previous good character. They also gather and present impact reports, collaborate with probation and victims’ families when relevant, and respond to any early or late submissions from the court. The process is shaped by sentencing guidelines, statutory maximums, and potential appeals on the sentence itself.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor explains the specific sentencing framework, including guideline ranges and statutory limits, and structures mitigation and representations to influence the court’s choice of sentence. They manage the sequence of steps, including the gathering of pre-sentence reports, victim impact statements, and any relevant licences, orders or conditions, and they prepare arguments for leniency or alternative disposals, with attention to the potential consequences if the sentence is varied on review or appeal.

My son was recently accused of a number of serious charges (8 counts in total) by his previous partner. His previous partner was a fantasist who manipulated the Police with her statements to the point where my son had to go to Crown Court to defend himself. We picked Eventum Legal as they specialise in defending domestic abuse cases and we have all been very impressed with how they handled the case throughout and the high quality of the barrister that they appointed to defend my son. The result of this robust defence was my son being found not guilty on all counts by a unanimous jury verdict. I would definitely recommend Eventum Legal to anyone else in a similar position to the one that my son found himself in.

Tagged solicitors Oliver Simon Gardner and Saul Gardner

I had the pleasure of being represented by Oliver and Saul. Saul worked very hard to bring my case together, working above and beyond, and certainly surpassed my expectations, even working long outside of his normal working hours too....nothing was too much trouble, and also being very vigilant, prompt and understanding. Oliver is fantastic. The way he presented my case was very professional, and again, surpassed my expectations. He made me feel at ease, being very down to earth, and explaining things very well. I would certainly recommend them, and have complete faith in them both. Thank you Oliver and Saul, for your ongoing support, I am so very grateful.

I had a very good experience Denise Wilson-Osuide. Throughout the case from first meeting her to the end, she was explicitly clear with all her emails and calls. She was also there for me mentally and emotionally. I'm happy with her service.

Madeleine Corr

Tagged solicitor Madeleine Corr

Dear Madeleine, I want to sincerely thank you for all your support throughout this emotionally challenging journey. Your kindness, understanding, and steady guidance have meant more to me than I can express, and I will always be deeply grateful. Thank you so much for calming me down during our initial phone call(thank you so much to the receptionist who promptly connected the line to Madeleine to reassure me) and for being so patient with me. In a time when everything felt overwhelming, your calm presence made a real difference. It’s so easy to feel like just another client in situations like this—but you never made me feel that way. You made me feel seen, heard, and never alone in this journey. Finding myself in trouble for using something I shouldn’t have was incredibly difficult. After being turned down by two solicitors and told I would face criminal charges, I was filled with fear and uncertainty. But your support helped me stay grounded. Thanks to you, I now feel a sense of peace and can genuinely look forward to the next chapter. You’re truly amazing at what you do—changing lives for the better and giving people the chance to do better. I hope that in my own career, I’m able to make even a fraction of the impact you have. Wishing you all the very best in everything ahead. With heartfelt thanks, R
