Read Our Posts On Specific Criminal Charges
Remember, we are not lawyers and cannot give you legal advice about your case. But we can tell you what the law is and what the Police needs to do in order to convict anyone of that offence. So we are producing a glossary of the various offences with information about each one, the law and how it applies to everyone. And that includes you. A Criminal Defence Specialist Lawyer will apply the law to your specific circumstances, the facts in your case and give you some solid advice about your specific case what to do next.
Equality Of Arms - Why do need, and are entitled to a criminal defence specialist lawyer?
If you are suspected of a criminal offence, and the Police want to talk to you, then you need to remember what that means. On one side of the table, there is you. On the other side of the table is a fully trained police officer that has years of experience and hundreds of cases under their belt. Behind the police officer there is the entire police force, their computer database, access to all public sector agencies resources, data and cctv. And there is the forensic science service, the Crown Prosecution Service with thousands of lawyers, solicitors and barristers, the courts service, the Ministry of Justice, the Home Office, the entire government and the crown. That’s thousands of people and the weight of the entire state and all of its resources against you. And this might be your first time in a position like this. Let’s be honest with ourselves. You need help and you need it before you say anything to anyone, especially in the Police station. The best thing that you can do at that moment. Is ask for a solicitor. If you are going into the Police station, bring a criminal defence specialist lawyer with you.
It is the Police’s job to gather the evidence that they need to secure a conviction. You have certain rights that are there to protect you. And that includes the right not to give evidence that may implicate or incriminate yourself. Most people think they can deal with it. Unfortunately, most people are wrong and they end up incriminating themselves. There are times when it is best to answer questions and there are times when it is best to say nothing and exercise your right to silence. This is why you need advice. And also WHEN you need advice.
Equality of arms means that you have access to specialist help, advice and the resources you need to deliver your defence. Sometimes you can get legal help (formerly Legal Aid), depending on your financial circumstances. Or if you do not qualify, then your criminal law specialist will stand by your side, prepare your case, collect evidence, secure essential resources and advocate for you at your hearing themselves or bring in a specialist barrister to make sure that you have best opportunity to secure your freedom.
Either way, a criminal defence specialist lawyer will give you some free advice in a free telephone consultation so that you can at least be informed of what you are facing, what you should do next and what your rights are and what, if anything, you should say. Your freedom, when you are talking to the Police about your involvement in in a criminal offence. may well depend on how you answer the questions, put to you by the officer sat in front of you.
Criminal Lawyers: Why You Need a Specialist on Your Side
When your freedom, reputation or safety is at risk, nothing matters more than having the right legal expert beside you. Whether you’re facing a police investigation, criminal charges, or you’re the victim of a serious offence, a specialist criminal lawyer provides the expertise, protection and guidance you need.
Why Choose a Specialist Criminal Lawyer?
Criminal law is one of the most complex and high-stakes areas of legal practice. It’s not enough to have a generalist – you need someone who deals with criminal law every day, who understands:
- How the police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) operate
- How to challenge evidence and protect your rights
- What strategies can reduce or eliminate charges
- How to support victims and secure justice
Without expert help, you risk serious consequences: fines, a criminal record, custody, or being left unsupported in the justice system.
Facing Police Investigation or Arrest?
If the police have contacted you – even informally – or if you’ve been arrested, it’s vital to speak to a criminal defence solicitor immediately. What you say or do in the early stages can affect the outcome of your case. Our lawyers can:
- Advise you before police interview
- Represent you in custody, interviews or court
- Negotiate with the CPS to avoid charges
- Help get bail or challenge wrongful arrests
Legal advice at the police station is free, regardless of your income. But make sure it’s from a qualified, experienced criminal lawyer.
Victim of Crime? Know Your Rights
If you’ve been the victim of a violent, sexual or serious crime, the legal process can be overwhelming. Our specialist lawyers can:
- Explain your rights clearly
- Help you obtain orders and injunctions
- Help you get protection from stalkers and digital harassment
- Support you through statements, investigations and court hearings
- Act if the police or CPS fail to pursue your case properly
- Help with restraining orders, compensation and victim impact processes
In sensitive or complex cases, having your own lawyer ensures you’re not left to navigate the system alone.
