Murder & Violent Crime

It has been over 50 years since the abolition of the death sentence in the United Kingdom, Yet today more than half a century on, there is a higher conviction rate of murder in this country, a staggering fact.

Murder

It has been theorised that this has parallels with the advancement and improvisation in technological and forensic science, for example, DNA has reached a point that 50 years ago would have been unimaginable in how advanced it has become. However, this is only a part of the rationale. The stark truth is that the system we have is weighed heavily against those that are accused of murder.

The process can be a traumatising one, our team are highly sensitive to this factor and we deal with your case with the utmost confidentiality and consideration, there is nothing that fazes us. We know how difficult this can be, but put your trust in us and we can help you achieve the results you deserve.

The legal system expends massive resources into their murder investigations, in contrast to legal aid lawyers that now find themselves constrained due to limitations on public funding, essentially hampering their investigatory powers.

That is why our key to a successful defence is down to how we delegate the work to our experienced team, in turn controlling how the case is presented and ruling over it with an iron fist, instructing some of the top QC’s in the country to act as an advocate in your best interest in the courtroom.

Every case is unique and we treat every case with the care and consideration deserves, there is no one size fits all method of defence. Our responsibility is to undertake these legal aid cases and where there is a gap in the funding we can subsidise them if necessary to ensure they are properly prepared.

Our team have comprehensive experience in these matters, defending those accused of the entire spectrum of violent crimes ranging from serious assault to murder.

Maybe your case is one of mistaken identification?

Perhaps you find yourself accused of lying, or you were defending your self in a situation. Our team will help truth prevail and help with your acquittal.

We can bring your case to the most powerful courtrooms in the country, through our expert legal team and connections with extremely experienced advocates.

Our clients are intrinsically linked, they all have one overriding theme in common: they are all innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and we guarantee that we will do everything in our power to ensure that their rights and interests are upheld with maximum effect. We tale pride in the standard of our work and are intensely committed to assisting you to attain a positive resolution.

The strength of a case is laid on the shoulders of the defence lawyer, it is their duty to sift through what can be a considerable amount of content, everything from paper trails, electronic files to audio and visual content. It is our job to carefully sift through this information and to find the smallest details that can help turn a case on its head. In order to do this, our expert team must call upon a whole host of specialised skills such as:

  • Impeccable organisation
  • Intelligent thinking
  • a single-minded and thorough litigation
  • supreme skill in organising and instructing experts and counsel

It is these three areas that we shine, as well as a constant motivation to always strive to be the best.
