We apply the same high standards to all of our cases, whether the client is accused of driving without insurance, or murder. Our firm has developed an enviable reputation in the courts for fighting hard for our clients no matter who they are, or what they are accused of.

Like most criminal defence firms we run a 24-hour service, 365 days a year – without exception. Out-of-hours we very rarely subcontract our advice service to freelance representatives or retired police officers – if you instruct us, we will be the ones representing you. From the principal lawyer to the most junior, we all do the job of defending clients everyday. In those rare circumstances where we do not have sufficient in-house expertise, we work with the leading barristers in their field to get the right result.

We take particular pride in our high quality advocacy. All of our solicitors attend Court on a regular basis, representing clients in the magistrates’ court from the first hearing to the trial with an exceptional record for obtaining successful outcomes. Our Higher Courts Advocates department consists of a number of highly skilled and experienced Crown Court advocates – both solicitor-advocates and barristers – who deal with the full range of cases that come before the Crown Court. They also regularly appear at the Court of Appeal and High Court, allowing us to deal with cases in-house at every level.
