Stewarts have a long tradition of skilled representation in criminal proceedings. We provide essential advice and representation in all local criminal Courts and at Police Stations

In this area of law, it is essential that clients are able to rely upon the skill and experience of their Solicitor to protect their legal rights and personal freedom at all times. Our Criminal Department has a highly qualified team with many years of experience.

• Magistrates' Courts - Most criminal cases are dealt with in the Magistrates Court. We appear daily at local Magistrates Courts. We are able to advise upon any type of case from the simplest allegation to the most complex conspiracy. We can help you put forward your side of the case if you are pleading guilty or to represent you at a trial if we advise you that you should plead not guilty. We will also advise you about appealing to a Higher Court when appropriate.

• Crown Courts - In some circumstances your case may be heard in the Crown Court. We can expertly prepare your case and arrange for you to be represented by an experienced Barrister.

• Advice at Police Stations - If you are questioned by the Police then you are entitled to free legal representation at the Police Station. We will be able to provide advice, 24 hours a day, on the telephone or see you at the Police Station (in serious cases). If you need help call us for clear and helpful advice as to your legal rights.

• Motoring Cases - Will you lose your job if you are disqualified from driving? Our Solicitors know that expert representation can really make the difference between keeping your licence and losing it. If you have any motoring problems where you think legal advice would help, call us for a free quotation.
