When You Need a Criminal Lawyer in Peckham

You do not need to wait until a court date has been set to seek legal advice. There are several stages at which a criminal defence solicitor may be able to assist.

Police Investigations and Voluntary Interviews

Being asked to attend a police interview does not necessarily mean that you will be charged, but it is important to understand the allegation and your rights before answering questions.

Our solicitors advise clients who are under investigation and represent suspects during police interviews. We can explain the interview procedure, consider the information available and advise you on the issues that may arise.

If the police have contacted you about a suspected offence, obtaining legal advice before attending an interview can help you make informed decisions.

Arrest and Police Custody

An arrest can be an unsettling experience, particularly if you have never previously been involved in the criminal justice system.

You have the right to seek independent legal advice while in police custody. A solicitor can advise you on the allegation, assist you in understanding the interview process and represent you during questioning.

Legal advice and representation at the police station are generally available free of charge to suspects, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Criminal Charges and Court Proceedings

If you have been charged with an offence, the next steps will depend on the nature of the allegation, the evidence and the court dealing with your case.

MK Law can advise on the prosecution case, explain the proceedings and discuss the options available. We assist with the preparation of criminal cases and arrange appropriate advocacy where required, including specialist barristers for more complex matters.
