Police Station
No one likes solicitors – until they need one. The police may suggest that you do not need one – they do not like solicitors either. That is because we help those they suspect are involved in an offence. We do not just defend the guilty. We protect the innocent. If you are arrested or asked to attend a police station for a voluntary interview, ask for us before you say anything. It may harm your defence if you answer questions without our advice.
Our best advice is to seek our advice call for a FIRSTDEFENCE team member immediately.
Asking for a solicitor does not mean you are guilty.
Free
Being arrested is a huge worry for anyone. You do not need additional worry about the cost of having the best legal advice whilst you are at the police station. When you ask for us, it is a completely free service, no matter who you are, and is independent of the police.
Expert
Effective and active representation during an investigation can influence whether you are charged at all. All our solicitors and police station representatives are qualified specialists and members of the Law Society’s Criminal Litigation Accreditation Scheme with years of experience of advising in the most complex and serious cases.
Any time
The police arrest and interrogate at all times of the day. If you are under arrest then you need advice quickly, not when it is convenient to solicitors or during office hours.
Our solicitors and police station representatives respond immediately to your need, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
What we do
The police arrest people they believe are involved in a criminal offence based on information they receive. If we are with you, we get information about the allegation before the interview, if you are on your own, you will not get that disclosure.
Having us there to defend you at an early stage in a police investigation could make all the difference. We will ensure that your legal rights are protected at all times, and make sure that your defence is properly put forward in an interview. It may even mean that the police decide not to charge you at all.
If you are arrested, or have a friend or relative under arrest, call us immediately – we can help.
Our best advice is to seek our advice call for a FIRSTDEFENCE team member immediately.
