If you are accused of a crime, you will need to get a criminal solicitor to represent you. For more serious offences such as modern slavery offences, terrorism, or murder, you must choose the best representation to ensure that you get a fair outcome for your case. At ABV Solicitors, we have a criminal solicitor ready to represent you, from the earliest stage at the police station, when you are being questioned, to trial at court, supporting the top barristers and QCs that we work closely with. We have been cited by The Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners as being a leading firm in 2023, and we have been included in the best legal firms of 2023 in The Times.

Our reputation has grown with the increasing number of successful cases we have achieved, which are detailed both on our website and on the legal directories that have recognised us. We can help you wherever you are in the UK, and for representation at the police station, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All you need to do is call us, and we will be able to start supporting you through your difficult time, explaining what is happening, where you stand legally, and how you can move forward before we come to your aid at the police station.

What we can do at the police station

When you are taken to the police station for questioning, it is recommended that you have legal representation. A solicitor will be able to advise you on how to answer questions that are being posed and ensure that all processes are being followed correctly by the police. Our criminal solicitor could be able to prevent you from being charged with an offence and having to go to court to stand trial.

What happens if I am charged with an offence?

If you are charged with an offence after being questioned, we will start to build your defence. The onus is on the prosecution to prove that you are guilty; however, we will need to have a strong case to call their evidence into question and create reasonable doubt. To do this, we will interview witnesses and expert witnesses, such as forensics experts, and we will gather other information, such as CCTV footage. We will then represent you in the Magistrates’ Court for minor offences, but if your case is referred to the Crown Court because it is a serious crime, we will work alongside the barristers and QCs representing you there. We work with excellent barristers and QCs, so you can be sure that you will have a high chance of getting the fairest outcome for your situation.

What should I do now?

If you are aware that you are suspected of committing a criminal offence or have been asked to attend the police station for questioning, call us for advice and support as soon as you can. We are here to help you, no matter where you are or what time it is. Don’t delay; get our help today.
