Main Areas Of Practice
Our criminal lawyers work with leading experts, when the need arises, in order to provide our clients with a complete defence team to address every aspect of their case, from advocacy to expert evidence. Our services include:
Theft and robbery
Our expert criminal lawyers defend individuals against charges involving conspiracy or attempts or incitement to commit theft or robbery.
Public order offences
Allegations relating to a public order offence are often extremely complex, but our expert criminal solicitors are experienced in defending individuals on a range of charges including firearms, affray, criminal damage, harassment or incitement to religious or racial hatred.
Perverting the course of justice
In England and Wales perverting the course of justice is a common law offence, carrying a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Our expert criminal lawyers are experienced in advising individuals investigated and prosecuted for this serious offence.
Allegations of assault and violence
If you have been accused of a violent crime our criminal solicitors are experienced in advising on a range of charges brought under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.
Fraud
Our criminal lawyers are experienced in representing clients accused of fraud including financial fraud, mortgage fraud, fraudulent trading and benefit fraud. We also advise against allegations of conspiracy to defraud.

Extradition
Our criminal lawyers advise individuals every step of the way from initial hearings to conducting appeals against extraditions.
Sexual offences
If you have been accused of a sexual offence you didn’t commit, we understand this is a frightening time. It is vital to seek expert legal advice from an expert crime solicitor as soon as an allegation is made. Our criminal lawyers also advise on historical sexual offence allegations.
Drug offences
Our expert criminal lawyers are experienced in defending against a range of allegations from possession to more complex supply cases or cases where premises are involved in the consumption of drugs.
