If you are facing the prospect of a criminal investigation or criminal proceedings, early, expert legal advice is essential.
In these circumstances, you look for criminal law knowledge and skills of the highest quality. That is what you will find at Palmers Solicitors in Essex.
Every criminal case we deal with – from road traffic offences to allegations of fraud – has the potential to damage a career or reputation.
In a world where the provision of advice and representation has become dominated by the difficulties brought about by the inadequacies of legal aid, we have chosen to work exclusively with clients, both individual and corporate, on a private basis, to ensure that we are able to continue to devote the time and attention required to best advise and represent those under investigation or charged with offences.
In this way, we are able to deliver bespoke advice and personal attention from a senior solicitor to every client, with the aim of achieving the best outcome.
Our criminal law team is led by director Jeremy Sirrell, whose extensive criminal law experience includes qualifying as a barrister and acting as a legal adviser to magistrates across Essex before qualifying as a solicitor and establishing our criminal law department.
As a former Crown Prosecutor, he also brings to his criminal defence work valuable insight into the processes and mindset of prosecuting authorities. Jeremy is able to advise on a wide variety of matters, including prosecutions brought by bodies ranging from the Crown Prosecution Service and the Health and Safety Executive to local authority trading standards departments and other bodies.
When we work with you, you will have fast, direct access to your criminal lawyer (not a junior or unqualified assistant) and to the advice you need to make informed decisions.
We offer support in all areas of criminal work, including:
- road traffic offences
- Driving with excess alcohol
- theft
- fraud
- assault and other offences against the person
- health and safety prosecutions
- food safety and other regulatory prosecutions
- corporate offences.
- Ordinary (temporary) Power of Attorney.
At a time when expert advice is essential, Palmers Solicitors’ criminal law team will deliver the specialist support you need at a competitive cost. Even in cases where you intend to plead guilty, our expert legal advice can make a significant difference to your case, through skilled and knowledgeable representation that can help to mitigate your penalty.
Please note that those facing criminal issues may also potentially face civil claims and we can also advise on those concerns.
