How we can help you

Being accused of a sexual offence can be extremely distressing not just for the defendant but also for close friends and family.

Often it is the defendant’s first experience of the criminal justice system, something which brings additional stress and anxiety to all those involved, particularly if the case generates unwanted media attention.

To help you navigate through this challenging, stressful and legally complex situation, it is vital you seek expert legal advice from an experienced sex crime solicitor as early as possible; ideally before charges have been brought. This will ensure your interests are properly represented and that you receive fair treatment from the authorities.
