Criminal Defence

If you have been arrested, are under investigation or have been accused of a criminal offence, obtaining specialist legal advice at the earliest opportunity is important.

At MV Legal Ltd, our criminal defence solicitors provide clear, practical and robust advice and representation at every stage of the criminal justice process. Whatever the nature of the allegation, we will ensure that your case is handled professionally, discreetly and with the attention it deserves.

Specialist Criminal Defence Solicitors

Our criminal defence team has extensive experience representing clients across a wide range of criminal matters, from relatively minor offences through to serious and complex allegations.

Members of our team have acted in high-profile cases of both national and international significance, including matters which have attracted substantial media attention.

We regularly advise and represent clients in connection with allegations including theft and dishonesty offences, assault and other offences of violence, drug offences, sexual offences, fraud and other serious criminal matters.

From the moment we are instructed, our priority is to protect your interests and ensure that you understand the case against you, your legal rights and the options available to you.

Our Approach

Being arrested, investigated or prosecuted can have serious consequences for you, your family, your employment and your reputation. Our solicitors understand the importance of providing clear and reliable advice from the outset.

We will carefully consider the evidence and circumstances of your case, explain each stage of the process in clear terms and advise you on the appropriate strategy. You will be kept informed of developments throughout your case so that you can make properly informed decisions about how to proceed.

Where appropriate, we will work closely with experienced barristers, experts and other professionals to ensure that your case is thoroughly prepared and presented.

Police Station Representation

If you are arrested or asked to attend a police station for a voluntary interview, you should obtain legal advice before answering questions.

We provide a 24-hour police station advice and representation service.
