It can be extremely daunting and stressful to be investigated or prosecuted for any type of criminal offence. If you are facing arrest, or about to be prosecuted, it is imperative that you obtain specialist legal advice immediately. Our Criminal Law team are specialists in all aspects of the criminal justice system and will provide advice and representation at Police Stations and at Court (Crown Court or Magistrates’ Court). 

 

We can deal with a wide range of matters (including motoring offences), and will handle all enquiries sensitively, efficiently and professionally. We will keep you informed at every stage of the process and will fight to win with a passion, obtaining the best possible result by challenging and influencing decisions from the very beginning of the matter. We run a dedicated 24 hour emergency call system and can attend police stations at very short notice, as necessary, to represent our clients.

All advice at the Police Station is free of charge. 

 

On arrival at the Police Station, you will be asked if you wish to have legal representation and they can contact us on your behalf. The specialist legal team at Talbots Legal Advice Centre will speak to you immediately and attend any interviews with you.

It is important to obtain professional advice and assistance from a specialist Solicitor if you are due to appear before either the Magistrates’ or Crown Court. The legal team at Talbots Legal Advice Centre specialises in defending, never prosecuting and can attend Court at any time.
