Your first port of call as a lay client, in usual circumstances, should be the solicitor. Your solicitor can then guide you as to the specialist aspects of your individual case, and provide guidance and direction on when a barrister should be instructed. In some circumstances, barristers can be instructed on a direct access basis.
Before instructing a criminal defence solicitor, it is important to conduct some research online and seek recommendations from trusted sources to find a firm that suits your needs.
Consider location-specific options such as fraud solicitors in London, fraud solicitors nationally, or criminal solicitors near you.
Stay updated with the latest developments and news by checking social media platforms.
Personal recommendations from family and friends can be invaluable, and if you have a solicitor for another area of law, such as a property dispute, ask for their opinion on top criminal lawyers or defence solicitors.
Finally, call the firm directly and make enquiries over the phone or during a legal conference; a short conversation with a prospective solicitor can help you determine if they are the right fit for your case.
You should always exercise your right to seek legal advice from a criminal defence solicitor when you believe you may be involved in a criminal matter. Innocent people sometimes get wrongly charged. If you are in that position and do not get the correct legal advice then you may end up wrongly convicted.
