Facing manslaughter charges can turn your life upside down. You go from living what you think is a regular life to something that feels straight out of a movie. Everything suddenly changes in a day.
Worse still, so many things run through your mind, from whether you can continue working to what your family will think. The more you think about it, the further your mind takes you down the rabbit hole.
At the same time, the people around you can start treating you differently. People may no longer want to talk to you or come and see you.
At ABV Solicitors, we understand what you are going through. We know how challenging it can be to deal with these accusations and maintain a semblance of normality. You want to continue with your life, but when the legal process is relentless, making you feel helpless.
The police may even decide to hold you in a jail cell until your trial. Therefore, you may also have to deal with solitude and other thoughts racing through your mind.
If you are facing manslaughter charges, ABV Solicitors has your back. We have years of experience assisting people in situations just like you, helping them through the legal process and enabling them to mount the best defences possible, given their case’s circumstances. Our track record in defending clients facing manslaughter charges speaks for itself.
We believe it’s essential to obtain the correct legal specialists to assist with manslaughter cases. Because the crime is serious, you want to avoid taking chances. Therefore, only work with lawyers with experience in this area.
Our goal at ABV Solicitors is to explore your options and mount the most effective possible manslaughter defence. Having a top-flight team in place gives you the confidence to stand your ground.
We recommend you talk to us as soon as you can. The earlier you open a dialogue, the sooner we can begin managing your defence, representing you, and providing advice.
Don’t wait to get professional representation. If you do, you could jeopardise your case by saying something the prosecution later uses against you in court.
Once you call us, we will consult with you about the nature of the charges and your current situation. Our lawyers are on your side, meaning they work for you, not the police, the courts, or the prosecution. You can tell them your concerns, details about what transpired, and what happens next.
By the end of it, we want you to feel more confident that you have a valid defence. We also want to ensure that you engage with the legal process through us, reducing the risk of mistakes that could jeopardise your case.
After our initial consultation, we will begin a meticulous evidence-collection process. The more details we can obtain about the manslaughter charges against you, the better your defence will be.
Critically, this process is proactive when you come to us. We search high and low for anything that might support you in court and weaken the prosecution’s case against you. That’s because we understand that it isn’t your fault that the unfortunate events occurred.
Here are some of the lines of inquiry that we make:
Throughout this process, we continue to provide you with representation at the police station, in a Magistrates Court, or at the Crown Court. Our team will ensure that officials and the prosecution treat you fairly and according to the full protections guaranteed under the law.
For example, we can accompany you to police interviews with our lawyers, providing answers on your behalf that support your case, reducing risks. Having us there gives you peace of mind and ensures you can answer questions in the most effective way to sustain your case.
ABV Solicitors can also provide robust defences for you in court. Our lawyers testify on your behalf, crafting compelling statements that direct the jury toward favourable decisions.
Don’t forget: we’re experts in defences that apply to manslaughter specifically. We can help you prove your innocence on grounds of diminished responsibility, self-defence, loss of control, or other circumstances that we deem fit. You have more options when you come to us.
Ultimately, having ABV Solicitors on your team makes the shock of being charged with manslaughter more manageable. While we can’t guarantee the prosecution will drop their case against you, we can show you a path to a bright and better future by collecting evidence and working through the charges made against you.
To facilitate this, we’re here whenever and wherever you need us. Our lawyers can travel to your home or the police station, or you can come to our offices. We’re here twenty-four-seven, ready to answer questions and offer support.
What’s more, you can speak to our professionals regardless of where you are in the legal process. We can assist you from arrest to summons to court. We slot into your case when you need us.
