Services We Do Not Provide

One-off Court Representation: We regret we cannot accept instructions for single court hearings.

The legal aid fee structure for one-off court attendances (typically £75 for Magistrates' Court with payment often delayed 3-6 months) makes it economically unviable to provide this service while maintaining the quality representation clients deserve. We focus exclusively on police station work where we can deliver exceptional value and immediate impact on case outcomes.
