So what can we offer you? Read on to find out more!

Professional advice, protection, and legal representation

Once you are made aware of the allegations made against you or your business, you must take immediate and appropriate action, which includes approaching your solicitor. With us, you can expect consistent and professional legal counsel from the primary stages of the investigations, and to the trial should formal charges be brought against you.

Not seeking out legal representation and opting to build your own defence is ill-advised for several reasons. Even if you have a background in law or possess some legal knowledge, the procedures linked to fraud laws are incredibly complicated, and you need a fraud solicitor who understands the complexities of this field.

Protecting your legal rights

In the past, we have defended clients who do not know their fundamental legal rights, and this lack of knowledge could prove detrimental to your case. Your rights must be defended the moment authorities approach you; you may be arrested without prior notice, or police officers may question you.

You should practice your right to remain silent and request a lawyer when this happens. A fraud solicitor supports you during this highly stressful situation, and advises you on which questions you should answer. During this critical stage of the investigation, anything you say can be used against you in a court of law, so knowing how to phrase your answers and avoid implicating yourself further is crucial.

We conduct thorough investigations

We collect evidence, interview witnesses, and communicate with other experts to help strengthen your case. We also decide which strategy to use in your defence, and help you to prepare your case meticulously should it stand trial.

What if I am facing severe punishments or penalties?

If you are guilty of a serious crime, it is our job to obtain the best possible verdict for you.

You may be facing time in prison, in which case our fraud solicitor will ensure that you receive a just and fair conviction. Otherwise, you may incur a fine to match the financial damages which the Complainant has experienced as a result of your misconduct.

We empathise with you

On top of our skills and experience we offer emotional support. We are aware that you are faced with highly distressing circumstances that could have a profound impact on your professional and personal life. We are here to protect your legal rights and aim to safeguard your reputation.
