What should you have to hand?
Representation and funding
Whether a solicitor is already acting, what help you are seeking and whether you want to explore legal aid or private funding.
The specialist question
For example, financial transactions, phone records, witness accounts or forensic material that may need closer examination.
Support after charge
Build the team around the issues.
A solicitor or barrister can advise on the proceedings, prepare the case and provide advocacy within the agreed scope of instruction. Investigators and technical specialists can support evidence work where needed.
If a lawyer already represents you, explain the additional expertise you are seeking. Any new role, instruction or transfer needs to be agreed with the relevant professionals.
Matching considers the specialist issues and relevant court experience. Acceptance depends on suitability, conflicts, availability and funding.
Which funding route fits your case?
Once you have been charged, we cannot provide pre-charge defence for that allegation. The focus moves to representation and preparation for the court proceedings.
Explore legal aid
We can explore legal aid options, subject to eligibility, and consider whether the representation and specialist support available are sufficient for the case at hand.
Discuss private funding
For a more complex case requiring additional legal, investigative or expert work, we can also explore private funding. The scope and fees are agreed before instruction.
