Criminal

A criminal solicitor is a legal professional who specialises in providing legal advice and representation to individuals and organisations accused of a criminal offence, or involved in criminal cases.

Criminal solicitors have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures, and they can advise their clients on a range of issues, from minor offences to serious crimes. Their work involves representing clients at police stations, magistrates' courts, and crown courts, providing legal advice, preparing and presenting cases in court, and negotiating with prosecutors to achieve the best possible outcome for their clients.

They also work closely with other legal professionals, such as barristers and legal aid agencies, to ensure that their clients receive the best possible legal representation.
