What is a Violent Crime?
Violent crime covers a wide spectrum, from common assault to grievous bodily harm and wounding with intent.
Our violent crime solicitors defend all levels under legislation that includes the Offences Against The Person Act 1861. We know that even lower-level accusations can have lasting consequences, and want to make sure you can navigate them with care. Early advice is key to the strongest outcome.
An accusation can affect every part of your life, be it your job, relationships, and travel. We understand the fear and uncertainty that this can bring, and our solicitors work tirelessly to minimise the impact. From avoiding charges to securing acquittals, we focus on protecting what matters most to you.
The moment you are aware of an allegation, contact our violent crime solicitors. Early involvement allows us to challenge evidence, make representations, or negotiate out-of-court resolutions before matters escalate. Our 24/7 service means you are never alone, even in the middle of the night.
