Police Stations

Free Legal advice and assistance is available to everyone who is arrested and detained at a police station. Being arrested, detained and interviewed by the police is perhaps one of the most daunting experiences a client may encounter.

We offer a service that provides assistance and attendance at the police station 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We provide this service as duty solicitor as well as a service for clients who are known to this firm.

We aim to be present during all police station interviews to provide continuous legal advice and assist at the police station should a client be bailed to return.

Due to the location of our solicitors and highly experienced accredited police station representatives, this means we can be present at local police stations when required within 45 minutes, including evenings and at weekends.

Why you should always have a solicitor present during police questioning

Attorney-client privilege is one of the most important protections that you have when you are suspected or accused of a crime. This protection ensures that anything you tell your lawyer is confidential and cannot be used against you in court. The police are not bound by this privilege, which means they can use anything you say as evidence against you.

Having a solicitor present during police questioning can help protect you from self-incrimination and ensure that your rights are respected. Your solicitor can also help ensure that the questioning is conducted fairly and in accordance with the law. If you are facing criminal charges, it is always in your best interest to have a solicitor present during police questioning.
