We deal with cases free of charge under the Legal Aid scheme at police stations. Legal Aid is currently not means tested in the Crown Court. Legal Aid is also available for many of our clients in the Magistrates' Court. For full details on whether you qualify for legal aid and how to submit an application for legal aid please see our
Legal Aid section of our
Funding page.
We pride ourselves on high levels of professional service and client satisfaction. While our lawyers have dealt with some of the most serious and sensitive Crown Court cases in the south of England, we can also offer advice on all aspects of criminal law at all levels of complexity.
We also offer highly competitive private client rates for those who do not qualify under the legal aid scheme, for full details please see the Private Client section of our Funding page.
