Criminal solicitors

Criminal solicitors are solicitors or lawyers who specialise in the area of criminal law. Whether you have been charged with a criminal offence or believe you are likely to be, gaining the help of an experienced criminal solicitor to handle your case is crucial to ensuring that you gain fair treatment within the criminal justice system. Examples of criminal areas you might be involved in and therefore need advice on include, but are not limited to:

Motoring offences
Drug related crimes
Theft and shoplifting
Advising on and arranging bail
Domestic violence offences
Assault and battery
White collar crimes, including fraud and money laundering
Criminal appeals

Motoring offences are one of the most common criminal offences that individuals commit and without the proper legal advice you may find that you face a driving disqualification. For every driving offence committed the court can endorse your driving licence with a minimum of a certain number of points. Speeding offences will automatically gain you a three-point endorsement and a fixed-fee penalty. For the most serious of offences you can get up to nine points endorsed. If you gain 12 points on your licence within three years then you will face a driving ban of a minimum of six months, unless you can successfully present a case of exceptional hardship to the court. However, it is up to the individual to present their case so you may want to consider gaining the help of an experience criminal solicitor to help you with your case.
