HOW WE CAN HELP YOU…
BEEN ARRESTED?
Cases can be won and lost at the police station. If you have been arrested, you have the legal right to free representation. Don’t discuss your case with anyone, including the police, until you’ve spoken to us. Remember, refusing legal help won’t get you out of custody any faster.
SUBJECT OF A WARRANT OR ARREST?
If you’re facing a warrant for arrest, call us immediately. We’ll arrange for your voluntary attendance at the police station, helping you avoid the stress, embarrassment, and potential bail issues of a forced arrest. Acting quickly improves your chances of being processed in court the same day, reducing the likelihood of spending unnecessary time in custody. Let us guide you through every step of the process for the best possible outcome.
RECEIVED A SUMMONS?
If you’ve received a summons, contact us immediately to schedule a consultation. We’ll review the prosecution’s case against you, examine the evidence, and provide expert legal advice to protect your rights and build a strong defence.
ACCUSED OF BENEFIT FRAUD?
If you are facing an interview with a benefit fraud investigator, you may qualify for free legal representation depending on your financial circumstances. Contact us immediately to determine your eligibility for free legal advice and ensure you have expert guidance throughout the process.
APPEALING AGAINTS A SENTENCE?
An appeal can be pursued if the sentence is manifestly excessive. For a Magistrates’ Court decision, you must appeal within 14 days of sentencing or conviction, while a Crown Court decision requires an appeal within 28 days. If you’ve missed the deadline, we can still explore applying for leave to appeal out of time. Contact us promptly to ensure your case is handled efficiently and with expert care.
