Why should you instruct a criminal defence solicitor?
If you have been arrested, charged with, or you are under investigation for a crime, it is crucial to contact a criminal defence solicitor at your earliest opportunity to advise you on the law, your rights, and your options.
A skilled criminal lawyer can assist and represent you throughout the entire criminal justice process, including at the police station, during police interviews, at bail hearings, and at court hearings.
Anything you say in a police interview can be used as evidence against you, so we recommend that you do not answer any questions in relation to the criminal allegation against you until one of our criminal defence solicitors is by your side to advise you.
