Being charged with a sexual offence sounds like the stuff of nightmares. Or maybe it sounds like something you’d see on TV or on the silver screen. Whatever the association, you probably haven’t imagined that it could be something you’d actually experience yourself. However, if you have been questioned or accused of a sexual offence, you will know how frightening and devastating the reality is of being investigated or charged by the police. The impact of allegations can extend beyond you losing employment and having your reputation called into question; it can also have ramifications on those you love as well. This is why it is important to get legal representation from the earliest possible stages of an investigation or charge being made with a sexual offence solicitor. At ABV Solicitors, we have a sexual offence solicitor who is equipped to support you throughout the legal process and can help to limit the extent to which you are affected by the investigation or legal proceedings. Renowned as a leading firm, our expertise and experience will help you to get the best outcome for your case.

What we can do to help

If you are being questioned about a sexual offence case and no charges have been made, it can be very important to have legal representation with a sexual offence solicitor. With our help, we can ensure that the investigation and questioning is fair and follows the legal requirements for such proceedings. With our advice on answering questions, we may be able to ensure that charges are not brought against you or that any charges made are dropped. If this is not possible, however, we will proactively build the best defence for you for when your case goes to court. We will interview witnesses, gather evidence from sources such as CCTV footage and we have access to leading QCs and barristers should your case go to the Crown Court for trial. With our support, you can ease the burden on your shoulders knowing that your sexual offence solicitor has everything in hand for you.

Whenever you need us, we’ll be there

The reality of being questioned by the police is that it can happen at any time of the day or night. As such, we provide a 24/7 telephone service, which means that if you need to call us for support at the police station, we will be able to arrange this and you will have the representation you need at that crucial time. We can also discuss your case with you and advise you upon how we will be able to help you and ensure that you understand where you currently stand in the legal process. This advice will be specific to you and your individual circumstances and should be a reassuring conversation to have when you feel like the world has suddenly caved in. ABV Solicitors are here to ensure that you have everything you need to keep going and get through the legal process.

Whether you are being investigated or charged with rape, grooming, sexual assault or exploitation, indecent images, child abuse or historical sexual offences, we will deal with your case sensitively and discreetly. Our practice has been recognised by Legal 500 for its strong track record and we aim to continue our success with you. Whenever you need us, we’re here for you.
