Why us
With powerful advocacy, a strategic approach and tireless dedication, we navigate life-changing legal moments. Our criminal lawyers are committed to protecting your rights and securing the most favourable outcome.
Our criminal defence lawyers are hands-on and represent you in court personally. That sets us apart from firms who handle cases from behind a desk, builds trust, and lets us tailor our approach to each case.
Because we are in court regularly, we understand how judges think and approach cases. That understanding helps us build stronger arguments and achieve better results for our clients.
We are solicitors with a presence in the courts: the legal knowledge to handle complex cases, and the advocacy skills to argue them. Together that means comprehensive, effective representation in every criminal matter.
We appeared on ‘24 Hours in Police Custody’ four times, all of them murder cases. Our experience with complex cases shows that even the underdog can rely on us to achieve a remarkable result, whatever the size of the case or its challenges.

Real feedback from the people we have represented, published on ReviewSolicitors and Google.
Most people ring us having never spoken to a solicitor before. This is exactly what follows, and you keep the same solicitor through all of it.
Ten minutes on the phone, free, and privileged from the first word. We tell you plainly whether you need us.
At the custody suite, the interview under caution or the disciplinary hearing — before you answer a single question.
Disclosure read line by line, evidence challenged, experts instructed and counsel briefed while there is still time to change the outcome.
Magistrates’ court, Crown Court or employment tribunal — argued by the people who were with you on the first night.
General information, not advice on your case. For that, call the line — the first conversation costs nothing.
You do not have to answer questions, but the caution warns that staying silent can be held against you later. Whether to answer, and how, depends entirely on what the police have disclosed — which is why that decision should not be made without a solicitor in the room. Advice at the police station is free to you.
Advice and representation at the police station is free to everyone, regardless of income. For cases that go to court, legal aid depends on your means and on the seriousness of the charge. We check your eligibility at the first call and tell you straight away.
Yes. A voluntary interview carries the same caution and the same consequences as one after arrest — the only difference is that you are not in custody. Anything you say can be used in exactly the same way, so take a solicitor with you.
The 24-hour line is answered by a solicitor, not a call centre. We attend police stations across England and Wales, through the night, at weekends and over bank holidays.
You will be given a date at the magistrates’ court, usually quickly. Between now and then there is work to be done on disclosure and evidence, and that early period often matters more than the hearing itself.
No. We focus on criminal law, road traffic law, employment law and settlement agreements, and we do not take work outside them.
Nothing on this page is legal advice, and no solicitor–client relationship is created by reading it. Every case turns on its own facts.
The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Two offices, one emergency line, and a solicitor at the end of it.
Sent straight to a solicitor. We reply within two working hours, and immediately outside them if the matter is urgent.
