Solicitors in Hastings

Hastings is a town on the south coast of England in East Sussex. Famously, Elsie Bowerman lived in Hastings and following work as a suffragette and surviving the sinking of the titanic, went on to practise law and become the first female barrister to appear at the Old Bailey.

If you have a civil claim you can bring the claim by sending a claim form to the county court in Hastings. Solicitors in Hastings can assist with this and instructing solicitors will help prevent any damages being reduced at court for failure to properly follow procedural rules. The Hastings County Court is located at The Law Courts, Bohemia Road, Hastings, East Sussex, TN34 1QX.

If you are arrested for a criminal offence you should always obtain advice from solicitors. Hastings has a magistrates’ court where you will need to go if you are charged with a criminal offence following your arrest. The court is located at The Law Courts, Horntye Park, Bohemia Road, Hastings, East Sussex, TN34 1ND. If your offence is more serious you may have to attend the Crown Court. If you have to attend either court it is always advisable to have representation by solicitors. Of course if charged with a criminal offence you will be allocated a solicitor in Hastings, but you may wish to instruct your own to guarantee specialist advice.

If you decide that you do not wish to instruct solicitors, Hastings has a Citizens Advice Bureau which may be able to provide you with some basic advice. The Citizens Advice Bureau is located at 24 Cornwallis Terrace, Hastings, East Sussex, TN34 1EQ. It is worth noting that you may have to make an appointment and the Bureau is unlikely to be able to give you full representation - you will need to instruct solicitors to do this.
