Criminal matters
If you've been charged with an offence
If you have been charged with an offence, asked to meet with the police about an offence, or you've received a notice to appear, you should speak to a solicitor immediately. With more than a decade investigating and prosecuting offences, it is my experience that the first conversation between an alleged offender and the police will often make or break the charges that have been (or will be) laid, irrespective of guilt.
Even if you think you are guilty, the criminal law is complex and you may not be guilty in the eyes of the Court, or guilty only of a less serious offence than the charge that's been made. It's always worth speaking to an experienced solicitor about how to proceed with your case, even if you intend to plead guilty. As well as advising you about how or what plea you can negotiate, an experienced solicitor can also help you prepare your argument for what punishment is appropriate.

Traffic matters
Traffic offences, including drink driving, unlicensed driving or dangerous driving offences, can have very serious consequences and it is important that you discuss the options available to you before having your day in Court. It is not always a straightforward choice between 'guilty' or 'not guilty', depending upon your specific circumstances.
Losing your licence can sometimes profoundly affect your ability to work, or to care for your family. An experienced solicitor can sometimes help you keep your licence, so that the disruption to your life is as minimal as possible.
