Advice at the Police Station

If you are suspected of having committed an offence and are being interviewed at the police station, you are entitled to free advice from a Solicitor or Qualified Police Station Representative (regardless of your financial circumstances). This can be given face-to-face or over the telephone.

 

Seeking our advice and assistance at this early stage can dramatically affect the outcome of criminal proceedings. Being interviewed by the Police is often stressful and unfamiliar to many people: our presence will ensure the interview is conducted in a fair and proper manner, and is not intimidating or oppressive in any way.

 

Thanks to our advice and assistance during initial questioning, a number of cases did not result in charges. 

 

If you are charged with an offence, you will have to attend Magistrates Court and in some instances Crown Court. Our Solicitors can advise and represent your case at both Courts.
