Criminal Law Advocacy
POLICE STATION
You have the right to speak to a solicitor if you are being held by the police.
I provide advice and assistance to anyone being questioned by the police in the South West of England. Where eligible this will be covered under our Legal Aid Contract free of charge.
Do not let the police talk you out of this right to assistance, it may make a huge difference to your case if you do not get this early support.
MAGISTRATES AND CROWN COURT ADVOCACY
Many cases can be dealt with at the Magistrates’ Court some may be sent to the Crown Court for trial by Jury or for sentencing. I regularly represent clients at courts throughout the Westcountry and also, when requested, cover all courts throughout England and Wales including the Court of Appeal. I am recognised by the courts and other agencies for my professionalism and integrity.
I also have an excellent network of specialist Counsel and expert witnesses that I can instruct if required.

I will advise you as to the best and most achievable options in your case.
