Do you cover every Kent Police Station?Yes! At the time of writing, we cover every Kent Police Station both where clients are arrested and for voluntary interviews. We can also cover every non-custodial centre as well. We also cover DWP interviews and where interviews are arranged in clients' homes as well. If you are a member of the public, we can put you in touch with a Criminal Solicitor who can represent you free of charge at the police station and take your case on as well.
-
Do you provide coverage for police stations outside of Kent?Yes, we regularly cover other police stations within a 45-minute travel distance from Maidstone. With prior notice, we can cover private matters at private rates and are willing to travel for LAA pre-booked matters. However, please be aware of LAA standards requiring attendance within 45 minutes. For example, while we can cover matters in North Essex, traveling 1.5 hours is impractical and may be questioned by the LAA. You can also instruct a police station agent directly through our sister site, https://www.policestationrepuk.co.uk. Note that direct instructions are a contract between you and the police station agent, and we are not responsible for them.
-
What information do you require when we instruct you?We ask that you send us a copy of the DSCC text by text or email (to prove you are a Bonafide criminal practice). We also request that you send us the instructed solicitors' details; office details and your email address for our report along with confirmation you will pay our invoice within 30 days.

Can you contact the Police on my behalf. I need......? (Members of the public)We are nothing to do with the Police. Please call 101 if the matter is non urgent or 999 if an emergency. We are not a department of any UK police force. We suggest you contact the police direct on the numbers above. If you require information about someone in custody, we are afraid we cannot get it for you, If the person you are requesting information about is over eighteen and has already got a solicitor, you should ring the police station and ask the police for details of the solicitor who is representing him or her and contact the solicitor direct. You should be aware that unless and until the solicitors have the permission of the person who has been arrested to talk to you, they can tell you nothing. They are bound by legal rules not to tell you anything without the permission of their client. In limited circumstances if the police have arrested someone we can enquire if they require legal representation. They will be asked then, if they wish to have a solicitor. If they say no, we cannot act. In those circumstances we will be told nothing and can obtain no further information. The person when arrested will have been asked by the police, when arrested if they want someone informed of their arrest. If they decline to take up this option, it is their decision and must be respected.

I am a Probationary Representative and I need a Supervising Solicitor for my Police Station Portfolio?Sadly, We cannot help. It takes a considerable amount of unpaid time to supervise a probationary representative whilst training. You also have to sign off a portfolio as being undertaken by the probationary representative and supervise all training as well as complete a certificate of good character. We are self employed. We sadly do not have the resources to do this. The best suggestion we have is to write to all criminal solicitor firms in your local area stating what you need. The questions the firm will be asking themselves is, What's in it for us ? and you will need to answer that in your letter or email. Good Luck!
