Our criminal defence services

Whatever the difficulties you may be in, talk to someone on your side to assist your case.

If you are worried that you may get arrested or are under investigation or suspicion, Lee & Co Solicitors offer a friendly, professional and no-judgmental approach to all their Clients at this critical and traumatic time.

Being charged with a crime is a frightening and often a bewildering experience, but it is vital to keep your head above water by seeking professional guidance as soon as possible from a specialist criminal defence lawyer, who understands exactly how the law works and what you need to do.

Even if you believe you have done nothing wrong, it is crucial to talk to a criminal defence lawyer at the first opportunity, to avoid potentially damaging your case.

In many cases it may be possible to resolve cases at the investigation stage without going to Court.

Your case may be dropped or you may just be given a caution and released. We will always obtain all the necessary information from the police in order to be well informed to advise you of the best way to proceed.

Lee & Co have a wide, comprehensive and successful experience in criminal offences, ranging from speeding to murder, assisting at every stage with the careful construction of a ‘no-stone-unturned’ defence, right through from an initial interview under caution, to a verdict and possible sentence, which is essential to a successful outcome. We act effectively and discreetly and are recognised for our outstanding work on behalf of our Clients.

Should you be charged, we can help you to apply for Legal Aid, for Lee & Co have a contract with the Legal Agency to supply defence services to Clients, who cannot afford legal representation either at the Magistrates or at the Crown Court, providing the Client can satisfy the financial requirements and the Courts consider the grant of Legal Aid free of charge is suitable for the case.

It may cost you nothing to use us but a lot if you don’t.

If you don’t want to be limited by the Legal Aid system, and want to place your trust in a criminal defence lawyer who will talk to you as an individual, explain the legal process and your options, treat you with respect and understanding and get you the best possible outcome, then you have come to the right place.

Our Mr Sephton Lee and Ms Marianne Jean-Baptiste have been practising in the Magistrates and Crown Courts for many years. Their considerable experience cannot be understated and they operate a 24 hour help emergency telephone line 7 days each week.

The sooner you have someone to talk to, the better it will be for you. Getting the right independent advice now could make a crucial difference to the outcome of your case.
