YOUR QUESTIONS

Start with
some clarity.

No jargon. Just a useful first step.

Can I get advice before I am charged?
Yes. You can seek advice during an investigation, including before a voluntary interview or police station interview. Early advice can help you understand your position.
Is the initial discussion free?
Yes. The initial discussion is free and is used to understand your requirements and explain how the team may be able to help. Any further work and funding arrangements will be agreed separately.
Will legal aid cover my case?
This depends on the work needed and the applicable eligibility rules. Free legal advice at a police station is separate from the tests for court representation. Read our legal aid and fees information.
Can I enquire for a family member?
Yes. A family member can make an initial enquiry. The team will need the client’s instructions and appropriate permission before discussing confidential case information.
Can I send an enquiry through this website now?
Use the secure online form for a non-urgent initial enquiry, or contact the team by telephone or email. If you are at a police station or in custody, use the 24-hour number shown on this website.
