Criminal Law

Throughout the past decade more laws have been put on the statute books than ever before. Many of these laws have been criminal in nature and what may once not have been considered a criminal offence, can be one now. In many instances individuals or people may not even know they are committing a criminal offence, or happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. This can tear families and communities apart. Fundamental protections for defendants have been eroded by changes to the rules of evidence and the seemingly never ending extension of police powers. Criminal law legal aid, now sadly, is out of the reach of many and for those still eligible the quality of criminal defence available has sometimes been diluted.

WHAT WE DO

Being suspected or charged with a criminal offence can be a frightening experience. Early advice and guidance is essential in helping you to make important decisions that can affect the rest of your life. Here at Dawn Solicitors we offer sensitive, straight forward, clear and common sense advice from the police station to trial and beyond. We believe our role is to guard our clients’ interests fiercely, and that often means showing we care beyond the call of duty, making their problems our own, so that they can feel confident we will solve them quickly and professionally.
