Criminal litigation is the process of going to trial in a criminal court to prosecute or defend yourself in a criminal matter. If you’re arrested, whatever the reason, you have the right to contact a solicitor – and it’s imperative that you do so.

​

We’ll advise and support you from the earliest stage of the case, before charges have been brought, right the way through to court proceedings. Although each and every case is unique, the criminal defence process typically involves:

• Case assessment – once we’ve gathered all of the relevant information, we will carefully assess your case and advise you on the strategic options available to you.

• Options – once we’ve been over all of the available options, we’ll then offer you our expert advice on the course of action that will achieve the best possible results for your case.
