Arrested or Asked to Attend a Police Interview? Don’t Face It Alone.

Guidance and support…

Being arrested or contacted by the police can be frightening, but you don’t have to navigate the criminal justice system on your own. The decisions you make in the early stages of an investigation can have a significant impact on the outcome of your case.

Whether you have been arrested, invited to a voluntary police interview, or charged with a criminal offence, obtaining expert legal advice as soon as possible is essential. Our experienced Crime Team is on hand to protect your rights, explain the legal process, and provide strong representation from the very beginning.

Many people are unaware that they may be entitled to Legal Aid, meaning legal representation could be available at little or no cost, depending on the circumstances of their case and their eligibility. If you are unsure whether you qualify, our team can assess your situation and guide you through the process.

We regularly advise and represent clients in matters including:

• Police station representation
• Assault and violent offences
• Theft, burglary and robbery
• Drug-related offences
• Fraud and financial crime
• Domestic abuse allegations
• Public order offences
• Road traffic and motoring offences
• Magistrates’ Court and Crown Court proceedings

Your defence starts here…

Our priority is to ensure every client receives clear advice, dedicated support, and robust representation throughout their case. We understand that criminal proceedings can affect your family, employment, reputation, and future, which is why we are committed to achieving the best possible outcome for every client.

Need urgent legal advice? If you or a loved one has been arrested or is under investigation, contact our Crime Team today. We can advise you on your rights, explain your options, and, where applicable, help you access Legal Aid. The earlier you seek legal advice, the stronger your position may be.
