If you have been accused of committing a criminal act, you need a criminal defence solicitor who will represent you throughout the criminal justice process, as well as in court. At Canters Crime our criminal defence solicitors represent clients in court in Merseyside , Lancashire and Cheshire as a matter of routine. We also have a national presence allowing us to operate in courts throughout England and Wales.

Our criminal defence solicitors offer a service tailored to the individual circumstances of each of our clients. We understand just how serious being accused of a criminal act can be for you.

Under the criminal law in England and Wales, anyone who is accused of a crime has the right to legal representation for the entire duration of the criminal justice process. This means that you have the right to a criminal defence solicitor from the moment you are arrested in connection with an offence through to your eventual court hearing. If you are found guilty of an offence and you receive a custodial sentence, then your criminal defence solicitor will also be able to provide you with legal advice relating to appeal, prison law and your rights as a prisoner.

Your expert criminal defence solicitor will be on hand throughout the judicial process to explain what is happening and the various possible outcomes of your case. Facing a criminal charge can be a daunting experience. It is vital that you have a criminal defence solicitor at your side who understands the legal process and who can advise you of the best actions to take in situations ranging from the initial police interview right through to the presentation of your case in court. Remember, consulting a criminal defence solicitor does not mean you are admitting guilt; you are perfectly entitled to legal representation if you are accused of a crime.

We run a large legal aid practice dealing with criminal law cases where the defendants qualify for legal aid funding for some or all of their criminal defence solicitor’s costs. Alongside our legal aid work, our criminal defence solicitors also represent a large number of individual and corporate clients who for various reasons do not qualify to have their criminal defence costs covered by legal aid. So whether you are after a criminal defence solicitor to undertake work funded through legal aid or private funding, then Canters Crime have the people and the skills that you need on your side.

“I have never had to deal with the police before. The solicitor explained the process and helped me through a very stressful time.”

At Canters Crime we can provide you with professional legal advice if you are facing an allegation of criminal conduct. We believe it is essential that you seek legal advice at the earliest opportunity, regardless of offence you are accused of committing. As such we operate a 24 hour on call legal service for criminal law matters across Merseyside.

For a consultation about a specific offence or allegation you can fill in the contact form on our site, or alternatively call our offices today on 0151 239 1020 and ask to speak with a member of our Criminal Law team.
