In the year ending March 2022, 194,683 sexual offences were recorded by the police in England and Wales, according to the 2021 census. For those who were accused, there can be no doubt that this will have been a very stressful and worrying time for them. Of course, being charged with a sexual offence can be devastating not only to the accused but also to their families as well. What’s more, being accused of a serious sexual offence can risk a person’s reputation, employment and liberty. This is why you must seek the support of a sexual offence solicitor from the earliest possible stage in proceedings to ensure the best outcome for your particular case. At ABV Solicitors, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to support you with interviews at the police station and to give you advice on the telephone in the first instance. When you call us from the outset, we can put your mind at ease and explain what is likely to happen in the legal process and how we can help. We can then accompany you to the police station to advise you on how to respond to questioning, and our intervention here could make the difference between whether or not charges are brought against you.

A leading firm

ABV Solicitors has long been rated by legal directories, such as Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500, as being a leading firm, and this is an accolade we have again achieved in 2023. This is based on the number of high-profile cases we have successfully represented, and our notable cases can be viewed on our website as well as the directories’ websites. We are proud of our successes as it reflects the level of individualised representation our clients receive. We understand that every case has individual merits and that our full attention, expertise and effort need to be given to each one. We work with some of the leading QCs, barristers and expert witnesses to ensure that if your case reaches the Crown Court, you continue to have excellent representation and a robust defence case. We will support you throughout the whole process, from the earliest stage at the police station to a verdict being given in court if charges are brought against you.
