With 10 solicitors and 5 police station representatives, a lawyer is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to deal with your case. We offer emergency representation at all police stations in the London area and further afield. We represent clients in court at all levels of the criminal justice system, both ourselves and through our links with leading barristers.

We believe that everyone accused of a crime has the right to a strong, committed defence, and that every case is of vital importance to the accused. From the most minor to the most serious offence, our approach is the same - detailed investigation that explores every avenue, pro-active and determined representation in the police station and at Court, commitment to providing the best advice and explanation of the law, and a sympathetic understanding of the importance of the case to you.

We are members of the Legal Services Commission's exclusive VHCC Panel, and are accredited as specialists in dealing with the most serious and complicated cases, including complex fraud and financial impropriety. We have experience of complex extradition and national security deportation matters as well as contesting the imposition of control orders.

As a member firm of the Criminal Defence Service, we can provide free advice and representation under the Legal Aid scheme at the police station and in Court. If you are not eligible for Legal Aid, we also offer competitive private rates.
