How we can support you
We can advise on police interviews and court proceedings, review recordings and witness accounts and explain the legal issues relevant to the allegation.
Before your first discussion
Preserve any relevant recordings or communications. Tell your solicitor about possible witnesses and any conditions that restrict where you can go or whom you can contact.
Your funding options
Legal aid may be available, subject to the relevant eligibility criteria. Private funding can also be discussed. We will explain the proposed work and funding arrangements before you decide to instruct us.
