Youngs criminal defence solicitors have an excellent reputation and are not afraid to challenge the police or the prosecution in seeking justice for our clients.
We offer 24 hour representation and representation during criminal court proceedings. Legal aid may be available but we also advise on a private client basis if and when required.
If you have been arrested or receive a request from the police to attend an interview under caution you are entitled to have the services of a solicitor who will guide you through the process. They will ask the right questions of the police to ensure that as much information as possible is available to help you make critical decisions such as how to deal with your interview.
The police can arrest you if they believe it is necessary to do so.
An arrest can mean detention in police custody while the police make further enquiries, search relevant property and conduct an interview. Whilst you are in police custody your biometrics data may be obtained by the police, including photographs, fingerprints and DNA. The fact of an arrest will be recorded on the Police National Computer and it could be disclosed to potential employers on a criminal record check in future, even in circumstances where charges do not follow.
Our police station solicitors and representatives are skilled at persuading the police that an arrest is unnecessary and that an interview can be conducted with a client attending voluntarily.
They will advise you on what to do and remain with you throughout your interview so they will be there to protect your rights and interests.
Some people worry that asking for a solicitor may make the police think they are guilty. This is not the case. You are entitled to free access to legal advice in a police interview and the police are very familiar with this right being exercised.
We are well equipped to provide expert legal representation to clients in respect of all levels of criminal court proceedings, from the Magistrates Court to the Crown Court and the Court of Appeal. Our criminal defence solicitors are renowned for their skill, expertise, and proactive defence and will be at your side through the entire criminal trial process.
Our lawyers will advise you about the charges, scrutinise prosecution evidence, and advise you on the appropriate plea. We will listen carefully to what you have to say about the allegations and prosecution case, and will gather defence evidence and material to support your case. Where appropriate our team of criminal defence solicitors will instruct independent expert witnesses and specialist counsel.
We are able to provide you with legal representation throughout the aspects of the criminal trial process.
