Criminal Defence Law
If you are facing investigation or prosecution for a criminal offence then you need the very best legal assistance available. The whole process can be extremely distressing and traumatic, which is why you need a vastly experienced criminal defence lawyer who can provide a discrete, sensitive and expert service to both private individuals and corporate employees.
Providing an expert defence against criminal charges
At Irwin Mitchell, our expert team of criminal lawyers have successfully defended clients against a wide range of alleged offences. Whether it’s minor road traffic matters or more serious criminal offences, we have developed our enviable reputation in all types of cases.
Whether the offence is relatively minor or serious and complex, our lawyers understand just how confusing and frightening being arrested or charged with an offence can be.
We focus on providing you with the first class advice and representation you need, communicating with police, investigators and prosecuting authorities on your behalf to ensure your best interests are protected throughout the case.
Our specialist legal assistance is available at every stage of the case. We can advise at the police station if you are subject to an interview under caution, or put in place an expert defence should your case go to court. We can also assist in cases where there is an international element such as drug trafficking or computer crime such as hacking.
Where necessary, we can work with our Public Law & Human Rights team to help you deal with issues of police misconduct or prison law. We generally accept instructions to act in relation to 'general crime' cases on a privately paying basis. In certain circumstances, for example if the case is a 'very high cost case', we may be able to provide representation if legal aid is available. Contact us and we will advise you on the best way to fund your case.

Our legal experts know criminal law inside and out. We can allocate a lawyer for you, or you can request one of your choice.
