Standing with you

Strategic legal defence, when the stakes are highest

Crown Court proceedings are complex, high-stakes, and can have life-altering consequences. Whether you’re facing trial by jury or appealing a decision, our specialist defence team offers clarity, support, and robust representation throughout every stage of the process. Your future deserves nothing less. The Crown Court deals with the most serious criminal offences, those that can lead to lengthy custodial sentences and long-term consequences, which is why having a strong defence matters.

Advocating you

Support in and out of the courtroom

With experience representing defendants in a full range of indictable cases, we will ensure you benefit from the best possible legal advice. This includes mitigation, should you wish to make a guilty plea, to positively influence sentencing outcomes.

 

Our criminal law team includes a number of Higher Courts Advocates, who will take over the conduct of the case and represent you at the Crown Court. In addition to this, we will prepare and collect all the details of the trial or sentence case and put forward the pleas on your behalf. We understand the stress these cases bring, and we are here to support you and your family every step of the way.

Who do we represent?

Our Crown Court defence service is designed for individuals facing serious allegations. Whether this is your first encounter with the criminal justice system or you’re appealing a Magistrates’ Court decision, our team has the depth of experience to support you with compassion and authority.

​

In the face of serious accusations, choosing the right defence team could be the most important decision you ever make. Let our experienced professionals stand by your side and provide the expert guidance you need. Get in touch now for a confidential consultation.
