We understand that being accused of a sexual offence is particularly traumatic for the individual and their family. We have in depth experience of dealing with all types of sexual offences, including rape, sexual assault, and “historic” allegations of child abuse, and will handle your case with sensitivity and diligence, regardless of the nature of the charge.
Our specialist sexual offences solicitors believe that everyone deserves the right to high-quality legal advice. That’s why we’re one of the few leading criminal law firms to offer both legal aid and private funding options.
If you’re convicted of a sexual offence you could face a long prison sentence and considerable damage to your personal life. It’s therefore essential to consult a criminal law solicitor as soon as possible to advise you of your rights and start building your defence case.
Many of our clients have never had any experience with the criminal justice system and are daunted by the prospect of losing their reputation, family, friends, and livelihood in one swoop. We deeply sympathise with the challenges you are facing and are ready to devote our time to fighting for your liberty and minimising any damage to your personal life.
If you’ve been arrested under suspicion of a sexual offence or you’ve been invited for a voluntary police interview under caution, it’s absolutely crucial that you do not answer any questions until you’ve received legal advice as anything you say can be used as evidence against you.
You have a right to legal advice while at the police station, so get in touch with our criminal defence solicitors as soon as possible.
Our significant experience dealing with sexual offences cases means we have a high success rate at getting our clients released without charge or acquitted at trial.
