Criminal law

Criminal law

Criminal law penalises actions made punishable by legislation. We can assist you not only when you are prosecuted but also when you were the victim of a crime.

You need a solicitor when you are running the risk of being criminally prosecuted. It is very important to request legal assistance from the very first moment, especially since a first interview by either police or investigating magistrate is decisive and, crucially, of lasting importance. Everybody has the right to remain silent, at least until after consultation with a solicitor of your choice. The importance of such a preliminary consultation cannot be overestimated especially since the first interview is usually what a later conviction is based on: speech may be silver, silence is golden.

You also need a solicitor when you were the victim of a crime. The rule of contacting as quickly as possible a solicitor to look after your rights is also valid here. Usually you can claim for legal assistance within the cover of your ‘family insurance’, we will check this for you.
