Why Firms Trust Our Duty Solicitor Cover

Criminal defence firms across Kent instruct us because they know what they will get: a qualified solicitor who attends promptly, communicates clearly, and provides detailed written attendance notes.

Every case receives the same professional treatment regardless of complexity. From straightforward caution matters to serious indictable offences, your clients receive proper representation and your firm receives a complete file note.

We cover every Kent custody suite: Medway, Maidstone, Canterbury, Gravesend, Tonbridge, Folkestone, Ashford, Margate, and all voluntary interview stations.
