London
At Old Bailey Solicitors we are all specialist criminal defence lawyers, based just opposite the Central Criminal Court on Old Bailey, London. We work with our extensive contacts to build the right team for your case, however big or small.
We are able to represent you at Courts and Police Stations across all parts of England and Wales including London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Swansea, Cardiff, Plymouth, Truro, Newcastle, Canterbury, Oxford, Chelmsford and all other major cities.
Sussex & Surrey
Old Bailey Solicitors has two other offices, based at Haywards Heath in Sussex and Horley in Surrey, which means we are able to offer a more local service to clients in those counties. The Solicitors working from these offices attend police stations and Magistrates Courts throughout the South East on a day to day basis. Our Advocates with Higher Rights of Audience regularly represent clients at the Crown Courts in Lewes, Chichester, Croydon and Guildford.
Between us we have worked on criminal cases of fraud, money laundering, confiscation, restraint and forfeiture, rape, sexual abuse, downloading indecent images, murder, terrorism, assaults, public order, domestic violence, drug importations, people trafficking, evasions of duty, thefts, speeding, drunk driving, causing death by driving, and other more unusual offences. Our criminal lawyers also have extensive experience of taking appeals and judicial reviews from both the Magistrates Court and the Crown Court to the Court of Appeal, the Administrative Court, the Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights.
At all stages of your defence our criminal defence solicitors will be driving towards the best possible outcome. If you feel you are not currently being represented correctly by your criminal defence solicitor then you have the right to change your representation.
We are a Very High Costs Case (VHCC) accredited firm which means we can represent clients who are charged with the most serious and complex criminal matters.
Members of our firm are top ranked criminal defence lawyers and are recommended in the Legal 500 2011 and 2012 and Chambers and Partners 2013.
Our criminal defence solicitors also received awards at the 2011 Law Society Excellence Awards placing them amongst the best criminal lawyers in England and Wales.
