Arrested or asked to attend an interview?

You have the right to free, independent legal advice at the police station, whatever your income. Ask for the duty solicitor or name a firm from this directory.

Due at the Magistrates' or Crown Court?

Contact a firm before your first hearing. Legal aid for court cases is means-tested; most firms listed here hold a legal aid contract and can assess you.

Checking a court list?

Every town page links to the nearest Crown Court and its daily listings, so you can see when a case is on and who to call.

About this directory

Firms are listed because the SRA register or the Legal Aid Agency directory records criminal defence as a practice area. Inclusion is free and is not a recommendation. Where a firm has paid for a featured placement it is labelled as such; placement is never sold per enquiry. Check a firm's SRA record before instructing them. Firms can claim or correct a listing from its profile page.
