No. Judge Law is a private firm and does not offer Legal Aid for criminal cases. All criminal defence work is undertaken on a privately funded basis.
No. A voluntary interview is still a formal part of a criminal investigation. Anything you say can be used as evidence.
Before attending, you should understand:
• The nature of the allegation
• The evidence the police are relying on
• Your options in interview
• The possible outcomes following interview
We strongly advise speaking to a criminal law solicitor before you attend. Early advice can influence how the interview is handled and what happens next. If you have been asked to attend an interview, contact us as soon as possible so we can advise you properly.
Released under investigation means you have not been charged, but the police investigation continues. There is no fixed time limit and cases can remain open for months.
During this period, you may not hear anything for some time. That does not mean the matter has gone away.
We can:
• Review the position of the investigation
• Advise you on potential next steps
• Make representations where appropriate
• Help you prepare in case of further action
If you have been released under investigation and are unsure what it means for you, seek advice rather than waiting in uncertainty.
In some circumstances, yes. Bail conditions can be challenged or varied if they are disproportionate or causing significant hardship.
This may involve:
• Applying to vary conditions
• Making representations to the police
• Making an application to the court
The right approach depends on the stage of the case and the nature of the conditions imposed. If your bail conditions are affecting your work, family life or travel, contact us to assess whether they can be reviewed.
This depends on the type and seriousness of the offence.
Some cases are dealt with in the Magistrates’ Court only. More serious matters are sent to the Crown Court. Certain offences can be heard in either court, depending on the circumstances and decisions made at an early stage.
The choice of court can affect:
• The procedure
• The potential sentence
• The timeline
• The overall strategy
We can advise you on where your case is likely to be heard and what that means for you.
Once charged, you will be given a court date. From that point, preparation becomes critical.
The early stages involve:
• Entering a plea
• Reviewing the prosecution evidence
• Identifying weaknesses or inconsistencies
• Considering defence evidence
• Assessing the strength of the case
The decisions made at this stage can shape the direction of the case. If you have been charged, seek advice immediately so that preparation begins without delay.
We prioritise urgent criminal matters, particularly where police interviews or court dates are imminent.
When you contact us, please provide:
• The stage of your case
• Any upcoming dates
• Whether you are on bail or released under investigation
This allows us to assess urgency and respond appropriately.
