Southport is a town in Sefton, Merseyside with a population of around 91,000. The town is a mixture between having an ageing population of affluent residents and being a tourist hotspot, with many people visiting Southport particularly in the summer months.
If you have a civil claim then it is highly advisable that you instruct solicitors. In Southport a civil claim form would usually be sent to Southport County Court, Dukes House, 34 Hoghton Street, Southport, Merseyside, PR9 0PU. Before a claim form is sent, your solicitor will guide you through necessary pre-action protocol, advise you of your chances of success and assist with preparation of the claim.
If you have been arrested for a criminal offence in Southport, solicitors can help from the outset. Your solicitor will be able to attend the police station with you and give you advice before the police speak to you. It may be that the police lack evidence and as a result your solicitor may advise you not to answer police questions, a decision that would be unwise without assistance from solicitors. In Southport, if you are charged with an offence you will probably need to attend Southport Magistrates’ Court. This is located at The Law Courts, Albert Road, Southport, Merseyside, PR9 0LJ.
It is always advisable that regardless of whether you are involved in a civil or criminal case, you instruct solicitors. In Southport, the Citizens Advice Bureau located at 24 Wright Street, Southport, Merseyside, PR9 0TL, may be able to give you some advice if you choose not to do so, but it will only be basic help.
