If you have been arrested, or think that you might be, it can be very unsettling. The police (or other investigative bodies) will either try to interview you as a “volunteer” or after arrest. You may have some idea what it is about. You may have none. This is where we can help you. If the police (or any investigative body) wish to interview you under caution then you have the right to legal representation during the interview under caution.

An interview under caution is usually carried out because the police/ investigating body is carrying out an investigation to establish if a criminal offence has been committed. If the police want to interview you, this may indicate that you are a suspect. It is vital that you safeguard your rights at the earliest opportunity by instructing a specialist criminal lawyer, who can help safeguard your liberty and in some cases, your marriage, career and reputation.

Featured Client Cases

• Client accused of Murder – Our client was present at the scene but was innocent. Having assessed the strength of the evidence our client was advised against giving the police his story declaring his innocence. Even though he was innocent and wanted to tell the police, had he given his account to the police they would have charged him with murder, remanded in custody and faced months in prison before trial. He followed our advice. He remained silent during his interview. The police couldn’t prove that he was present at the scene.
• Client accused of Assault – A software developer was arrested and accused of assaulting his partner. The complainant made an allegation to the police which they recorded on their body warn video. The police didn’t reveal to us whether the complainant had given them a formal witness statement, but indicated they could impose a caution if he admitted the offence. With this specific client, a caution could have impacted on his ability to work in the US. Our solicitor assessed the strength of the evidence and discussed the case with our client who made an informed decision not to admit the offence.
