At Sial Justice Lawyers, we represent individuals facing criminal investigations and proceedings. We provide professional criminal defence advice and representation from the police station through to the Magistrates’ Court and Crown Court.

Whether you have been arrested, invited to attend a voluntary interview, charged with an offence or required to appear in court, we will explain your options clearly, protect your rights and carefully prepare your case.

Advice and representation at the police station is free of charge and is not means tested and may provide publicly funded representation for eligible court proceedings.

Our Criminal Defence Work

We represented a client arrested on suspicion of intent to supply Class A drugs. The situation was serious and the client was under significant pressure.

We reviewed the evidence carefully, advised the client before interview, challenged the case at the police station and protected the client’s position throughout.

The matter was dropped before charges were brought.

Why We Do This Work

A criminal allegation can affect your liberty, reputation, employment and family. It can also create considerable uncertainty and pressure for you and those close to you.
