Due to be interviewed by the police?
There is no such thing as a quick chat or interview, if the Police want to speak to you about any alleged offence then you are a suspect. Never answer questions without getting legal advice. Whether it is by arrest or a voluntary interview at your home or at a police station, the seriousness is the same and you need the best legal advice and representation.
Don’t try to save time or inconvenience or be shamed into declining a solicitor. Don't take a chance on the Police arranged legal aid duty solicitor, many general criminal defence firms use poorly qualified staff for police station work, it is unlikely you will get a qualified solicitor and many Police appointed legal advisors are unsympathetic to indecent images cases and may only attend virtually or by phone, I will always attend in person.
​
​How I am different
Prior preparation is the key to a good outcome therefore you will get unlimited pre-interview advice and assistance provided via phone or Zoom videocall in advance of the interview date.
​
On the day of the interview you I will attend in person to meet you and represent you fully, taking you through each step of the process, all with the sole aim of bringing the case to a close as soon as possible.
​
Already been interviewed?
If you have been interviewed already and your case is still open than you are either on bail or have been released under investigation. You probably feel you have been left in limbo, with little understanding of what will happen next and how long it will take. This can be an incredibly stressful time and it is when you need an experienced specialist solicitor to take over and proactively push your defence forward to bring the case to a close as soon as possible.
​
I can help you with post interview advice to cover:
​
-
Chasing the police for an outcome on your case.
-
Chasing the police for the return of your property.
-
Making representations for your case to be closed, or for bail conditions to be changed or removed.
-
Help gathering defence evidence to present to the police to bring the case to a close.
-
Preparing for a second interview once your devices have been analysed.

Court representation services
​
First Hearing
Going to Court for the first hearing is a big deal. It is often the first chance to assess the evidence against you. The Court will want a plea from you and if you plead guilty you can be sentenced and given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) and go on the Sex Offenders Register there and then.
​
You only get one chance at a first hearing, smart tactics are needed to make the right decisions about your case. Too often the Police examination forensic report of your devices is wrong, a defence instructed expert forensic report can substantially change and improve your case.
​
Don’t risk using the duty solicitor or the firm that has already got you charged, let me take control.
​
Trial
If you are facing a Trial it is essential you have the best possible preparation and representation. Your character, employment, liberty, friendships and relationships are all on the line. Let me take charge to give you the best chance of success.
Sentencing
If you are due for sentencing it is damage limitation time, but there is still much to play for, I can help you get the best possible sentence to avoid prison or a community service. I also need to fight to avoid excessive prosecution costs and a SHPO that with further limit your liberties and ability to see family and friends.
​
Preparation
If you can’t get legal aid or afford a solicitor to represent you fully for trial or sentencing I can help you by assisting with the preparation of your case. I can assess prosecution evidence, help gather defence evidence, prepare witness statements, prepare questions for witnesses or help with mitigation for sentencing.
​
A SHPO can be served on you without notice, I can help you put your side of the case to the Judge to have the prohibitions removed or relaxed.
If the Court has made you subject to a SHPO I can help you appeal the order or apply to vary the prohibitions.
