If you've been accused of a crime, it's essential to get professional legal advice. Clients often call us after they have been questioned by police without a lawyer or represented by a Duty Solicitor. Many are concerned that, after the initial police interrogation, their lawyers have not asked them to provide further information or considered any proactive lines of enquiry. Whilst some lawyers believe that there is little that can be done during the police investigation stage, experience has shown us that taking a proactive approach can reap rewards. These pre-charge enquiries are an essential part of our work.

Read our guide into how we approach this crucial stage in any criminal law investigation.
