Offences against the person vary in context from domestic incidents to public settings and conversely require a high level of specialist knowledge and guidance when navigating criminal proceedings. For example, allegations of domestic abuse involve a great deal of care, as the consequences of conviction can be extreme.
Our solicitors are able to advise accordingly on matters of plea, defence, bail, procedure, restraining orders, acquittal and sentence. In charges resulting in ensuing court proceedings, we engage the most proficient and reputable barristers to ensure the highest degree of legal defence representation.
From an initial allegation through to rigorous defence at trial, we provide exceptional advice and representation on a full spectrum of offences against the person. Above all, our priority is always to obtain the most favourable outcome possible for every client.
