Enhanced Service

Private Client Criminal Defence

Director-level representation with personal attention, proactive defence strategy, and continuous support from police station through Crown Court.

When to Consider Private Funding

While legal advice at the police station is always free, some clients prefer to fund their representation privately from the beginning. This may be because they are not eligible for Legal Aid for court proceedings, or they wish to secure the services of a specific senior solicitor from the outset.

Private funding is particularly suited for professionals, high-profile individuals, or those facing allegations that could have a severe impact on their reputation, career, or liberty.
