What Are the Benefits of Private Representation?
1.     Comprehensive Preparation: Private lawyers have the time and resources to meticulously prepare your case, including gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and consulting with experts.
2.     Dedicated Focus:  We can dedicate our full attention to your defence.
3.     In-House Advocacy: Our team includes skilled advocates who can represent you at every stage, even in the Crown Court, saving you time and money.
4.     Bespoke Strategy: We adapt our defence approach to the specifics of your case, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
How Much Does Private Representation Cost?
1. Cost-Effective Representation
We aim to make private representation affordable by offering in-house advocacy. This means you can access our expert legal services without the added cost of hiring external barristers. For more details, visit our Fees Page.
2. Legal Expenses Insurance
For serious cases, you may already have legal expenses insurance as part of an existing policy (such as motor, home, or professional insurance). This can cover the cost of your legal defence and allow you to instruct the solicitor of your choice. See our Legal Expenses Insurance Page for more information.
Why Is Private Representation Worth It?
The stakes in criminal cases are high. A conviction can impact your career, finances, personal relationships, and freedom. By investing in private legal representation, you are prioritising your future and ensuring your case is handled with the care, expertise, and dedication it deserves.
