Privately Funded Criminal Defence

Do I need a Criminal Solicitor?

If you have been accused of a crime, been asked to attend a police interview, been arrested or charged with a criminal offence or even convicted of a criminal offence then you should contact us as soon as possible so that we can advise and assist you.

Privately Funded Criminal Defence

The service we can provide to our privately funded clients ensures the highest standard of criminal defence services and professional client care. As a privately funded client you will benefit from the expertise and skill of our most experienced and highly regarded solicitors, who have a level of proficiency and skill that cannot always be covered by the Legal Aid Agency.

Given the constraints on Legal Aid, Jones & Co. has developed a significant private practice representing individuals and professionals in various fields. There have been savage cuts to Legal Aid for over a decade and, therefore, it does not always provide representation at a level expected of professionals or those with personal assets or business

We are always transparent when discussing costs. Our solicitors charge an hourly rate. Alternatively, we may be able to offer a fixed fee so that you can be certain of the total costs involved in defending your case.

Legal Expenses Insurance

Legal Expenses Insurance covers the cost of pursuing or defending against certain legal actions.

We strongly advise you to check whether or not you or anybody in your family has Legal Expenses Insurance. Some policies may provide Legal Expenses cover for everyone in the household.

Police station representation

When asked to attend an interview by the police or another investigating body, it is essential that you immediately instruct an experienced legal professional to help you prepare. Thorough and comprehensive planning is key and could make all the difference to the outcome of your case. We will ensure that the investigation is conducted properly, that you know your rights and that you are treated fairly.

Preparing your case for Court

Thorough and comprehensive planning is essential. We will take the time to undertake a detailed analysis of the evidence, exposing weaknesses and inconsistencies in the case against you. We ensure that every avenue is explored, that inadmissible evidence is challenged, that robust defences are advanced on your behalf and that important evidence is disclosed and used to assist your case.

Representing you in Court

We will ensure that you receive first-class representation throughout your case. We enjoy a close working relationship with a network of leading legal experts including barristers, QC’s, forensic accountants, forensic scientists, pathologists and medical experts.

Appeals against conviction

The appeals process is notoriously difficult and complex, but we have the necessary skills and experience to guide you through it. We will provide you with clear and honest advice regarding the likelihood of success.
