Solicitors in Newport
Newport is a town in Wales close to the English border. There are a disproportionate number of immigration solicitors in Newport because it is where the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal for the South West is located. The Asylum and Immigration Tribunal can be found at Columbus House, Langstone Business Park, Chepstow Road, Newport, NP19 2LX.
If you are charged with a criminal offence in Newport it is likely that your case will be heard at Newport Magistrates’ Court at the Civic Centre, Faulkner Road, Newport, Gwent, NP20 4UR. If the offence with which you are charged is more serious, then you may be required to attend Newport Crown Court which is located at the same address. If you are required to attend either of these courts, solicitors in Newport should be instructed. In the magistrates’ court, solicitors are likely to represent you themselves, while in the Crown Court it is likely that a barrister will perform the advocacy.
If you have a civil claim in Newport, solicitors can assist you with preparing a claim form and sending it to the correct court. The county court in Newport is located at Olympia House, 3rd Floor, Upper Dock Street, Newport, Gwent, NP20 1PQ and this is where documents should be sent. If you are required to attend the civil court then where you go will depend on the type of case and you should obtain advice from solicitors. In Newport there is a Citizens Advice Bureau which may be able to provide you with some basic advice. It is located at 8 Corn Street, Newport NP20 1DJ.
Clearly, dealing with a civil case, or a family matter, is more than simply filing documents and turning up at the correct court. If you have a situation which requires legal advice then instructing a solicitor is highly recommended.
