Our involvement is crucial from the initial interview stage, or voluntary attendance, and throughout your case which may include formal court proceedings and possibly a subsequent appeal.
We understand that involvement with the criminal justice system can be extremely stressful for a client, their family and will impact upon their daily lives significantly. We know our valued clients appreciate the high quality advice and representation we provide in those challenging times. We are proud to be there ensuring that your rights are protected and you gain as much assistance as possible to endure those pressures.
It is important to remember that requesting the advice of a criminal defence solicitor does not mean you are admitting any form of wrongdoing.
If you have been arrested, summonsed or charged to appear at Court in relation to a criminal offence, you should immediately seek our expert legal advice. One of our team of solicitors will be able to assist you immediately and advise you on how best to defend your case.
Criminal charges can result from an arrest and subsequent charge to Court. Alternatively, you may be reported for an offence and summonsed to attend Court by the Public Prosecution Service. If you are charged or summonsed to go to Court, you will be given a date to appear in the Magistrates Court initially. The case will then be resolved at Magistrates Court level or alternatively, transferred to the Crown Court for Trial. A contest at Magistrates Court level will take place before the District Judge. At Crown Court level, any verdict will normally be decided by a jury of twelve people rather than a District Judge. MSM Law will provide clear advice and the best possible strategy for your particular case.
