At the Police Station
Imagine being accused of a crime. Imagine how bad it must feel. The police will want to investigate you. They may wish to arrest and detain you. The whole experience will be humiliating and daunting.
No one likes solicitors – until they need one. The police may suggest that you do not need one – they do not like us either. That is because we help those who they suspect are involved in the commission of offences.
You need to understand your rights. You need to take steps to defend those rights as early as possible.
You need the best defence. You need specialist advice. Someone who will be on your side. A lawyer who has only one interest – to achieve the best result for you. This is where we come in.
The police station can be a frightening, oppressive and difficult environment. Our lawyers are used to the police station and they are tough, fearless and determined practitioners. Our proactive defence at an early stage in an investigation will make a difference. It may even mean that the police decide not to charge you at all.
You do not need to worry about the cost of having the best legal advice whilst you are at the police station. We are free.
The police arrest and interrogate at all times of the day or night. If you are under arrest then you need advice quickly, not when it is convenient or during office hours. Our solicitors and police station representatives respond immediately to your need, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. If you are arrested, or have a friend or relative under arrest, call us immediately – we can help.
First Defence will assist any person investigated for a criminal offence regardless of the nature of the allegation, or the race, colour, religion, sexuality, gender or disability of the suspect.
If arrested make your first call to First Defence. We will attend. We will represent you. Our help is free. Our services are independent. Our service is for you.
