Solicitors in Hammersmith

In Hammersmith, solicitors specialise in all types of law including family law, business law, personal injury law and immigration law to name just a few. In civil claims, it is usual for claims to be started in the county court by submitting a claim form to the relevant court. The West London Courthouse County Court is located at 181 Talgarth Road, Hammersmith, London, W6 8DN. The West London Courthouse also houses the local magistrates’ court, where less serious criminal offences are heard. More serious criminal offences will be heard in a Crown Court where the accused should be represented by barristers and solicitors.

Hammersmith County Court will accept civil claim forms from members of the public or businesses, although regardless of your position you would be well advised to instruct solicitors. Hammersmith is no different to any other area of England in that procedural law can be complex and if you fail to properly follow procedures, it can mean that any awarded damages are reduced by the court. In civil cases it is normal for negotiations out of court to result in settlement of the case, without the need to attend court. It is therefore crucial that you have a proficient negotiator to act on your behalf to maximise any settlement amount.

In criminal cases, the solicitor is responsible for attending the police station and representing any person arrested for a criminal offence. If you are arrested for a criminal offence then you should have representation immediately, so that your solicitor can give you advice on the offence you have been arrested for and whether you should answer police questions or not.
