Criminal defence

Your best interests are our primary concern, whatever legal problem you are facing. Should that problem be criminal in nature, then you will require the experience and expertise of Beswicks’ criminal defence lawyers.

Being suspected or accused of a criminal offence is a worrying and anxious experience and you should consult a solicitor at the earliest opportunity – even before speaking to the police when you have been arrested.

The Beswicks criminal team is one of the largest outside London. It is one of only a small number with a Category 1 Legal Aid Franchise and handles all types of criminal cases for private individuals and companies.
We will represent you at the police station, the Magistrates Court or the Crown Court.
