Police Station Representation
Having a solicitor present to represent you during your interactions with the police can offer several key benefits by ensuring your rights are protected and that you receive fair treatment throughout the legal process. A solicitor can assist you in making informed decisions by explaining your legal rights and options, clarifying legal terms, offering preparation, briefing and guidance, and instilling confidence in you knowing that you have a support system in the form of a legal professional by your side.
Our Panel
At Legal Assist, we understand it can be an extremely stressful and emotional experience being in police custody, particularly without legal representation. That’s why we have built a strong panel of Criminal Defence solicitors that can represent you or a family member which is in police custody or requires representation following release on bail or further investigation. They are non-judgmental, dedicated and supportive and are experienced in defending and representing clients from all backgrounds and professions.
They can deal with various types of criminal offences, including but not limited to:
- Assault
- Criminal Damage
- Theft & Robbery
- Public Order Offences
- Motoring offences
- Drug Offences
- Conspiracy Offences
- Financial Crime
- Sexual Offences
Please note: We are a claims management company authorised and regulated by the financial conduct authority in respect of claims management activities, however this page is for non-regulated activities.
You do not need to use a claims management company for this matter. You do not need to use our panel solicitors either. You have the right to proceed with a solicitor’s firm or company of your own choice.
We receive marketing fees from our panel solicitors for successful introductions. You are under no obligation to use our panel solicitors.
If you are interested in discussing this with a solicitor’s firm on our panel, feel free to contact us.
Solicitor’s Fees
They accept Legal Aid public funded cases as well as private funded cases. If your case is subject to private funding, please be aware that fees vary from law firm to law firm. Some may charge you on hourly rates, fixed fees, or staged payment options. We do not deal with this aspect so if the price quoted by one of our panel members is too high or doesn’t seem competitive, you do not have to go with that law firm. It doesn’t cost you anything to have a conversation with them to see if they are the right fit for you and your circumstances. We do not charge you a fee for introducing you to any of our panel members and the initial telephone consultation with the solicitor’s firm is free of charge.
Legal Assist does not offer legal advice of any kind. Our panel solicitors may be able to offer their services to you however you are under no obligation to utilise their services even after your initial telephone consultation with them. Any solicitors firm we recommend is an independent firm from whom you will receive impartial professional legal advice from. We are paid a recommendation fee for successful introductions however this has no impact on the level of service you would receive with them or the fees that you would be charged by that panel member. You are also free to seek legal advice through a solicitor’s firm or legal advisor of your own choice or pursue this matter yourself for free.
