It can be the things of nightmares or from the silver screen: being charged with murder. You may be feeling frantic at the thought of what the future will hold, and it is completely understandable that you want to have a great defence team to present your case to a jury in court. At ABV Solicitors, we have a wealth of experience and great success in defending clients against murder and manslaughter allegations. As a long-established firm, you can be sure that we are professionals who have the ability to handle difficult cases with the legal expertise and knowledge that you require for the best outcome for your circumstances. We recognise that you could have serious consequences to your life, if you were to be convicted, and we don’t take this responsibility lightly. We work tirelessly to help build the best defence possible and have been cited by Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners as leaders in the field as a result of our hard work and successful defence cases.

What we do

At ABV Solicitors, we have a criminal solicitor who is ready to support you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. From the moment you go to the police station, we are ready to support you through questioning before a charge is made. The earlier our intervention is sought, the more likely it is that charges will not be brought against you, or may be reduced to a less serious charge. We will also take proactive steps to build your defence by interviewing relevant witnesses, speaking to experts we have as established contacts and who are renowned in their particular field, such as forensics. We also ensure that you understand what is happening at every stage, and if you are charged and are going to the Crown Court, we have leading QC’s and Barristers whom we will work with every step of the way.

The crimes we deal with

A criminal solicitor is able to support with all aspects connected with murder or manslaughter cases. We can help defend both individuals, or corporations for murder charges, as well as gross negligence manslaughter. Some of the areas of murder allegations we help defend against are: gang related murder, revenge murder, domestic and honour killings, honey trap murder, contract killings, and discrimination murder.

The defence specialisms

Here at ABV Solicitors, we can help defend you in many areas of the law; however, we have got some areas of defence that we are specialists in. These are diminished responsibility, which is where you have killed somebody, but you didn’t mean to because of something that affected your thinking process – such as alcohol – and it meant that you didn’t intend to kill the person. We also specialise in the defences of insanity, joint enterprise, self-defence, and provocation.

Next steps

If you would like professional, experienced and expert guidance, contact ABV Solicitors whenever you’re ready and we will be here for you, night and day. Our aim is to give you the best defence for your case to ensure that you get the outcome that is fair for your particular circumstances. We will take the legal pressures off your shoulders and do the straight-talking and thinking on your behalf, advising you every step of the way and working hard to build your defence. Let us end the nightmares and get to work on the reality of the situation now.
