We assist and prepare all aspects of the case for the Magistrates Court to minimise any problems.

Crown Court

Offences listed as 'indictable' are often tried at the Crown Court. But before this, the Magistrates Court, has to have found a case for the prosecution against the accused. An accused in a serious case has the right to be heard by a crown court judge and jury, which may be more or less sympathetic than the magistrates bench.

All the most serious cases such as rape, robbery, drugs, armed robbery and murder are tried at the crown court before a judge and jury.
As a firm of solicitors we will prepare and collate all the details of the trial or sentence cases and put forward the pleas on behalf of the accused or to the accused.

Appeal Court

Before attending the Appeal court a case must have been tried at the Magistrates and Crown Court. In the appeal court the Defendant must present a fresh case with the evidence being re examined before trial. A defendant after being convicted of being guilty in a Crown Court may appeal against the verdict and have the case heard in the Court of Appeal.

Appealing against a sentence or point of law means a fresh case must be presented. The appeal will be heard in front of a minimum of two judges sitting with out a jury at the London Court of Appeal
