Court Representation Solicitors in Scunthorpe & Goole

We will advise you on whether your case will be heard at the Magistrates’ Court or transferred to the Crown Court based on the severity of the offense. Our solicitors, Mr. David Rix and Mr. Rodger Price, are available to represent you at the Magistrates’ Court. For cases that proceed to the Crown Court, we collaborate with a network of highly skilled local barristers to ensure robust representation.

WWe understand that legal costs can be a concern. Legal aid is available for certain criminal offenses, subject to the criteria set by the Legal Aid Agency. For those not eligible for legal aid, we are committed to being fully transparent about our fees. We will provide you with an estimate of the anticipated costs and keep you regularly updated.

WReceiving a court summons can be stressful. It is crucial to seek legal advice immediately. Our team will guide you through what steps to take, including how to respond to the summons and what documents you will need to bring to your first court appearance.

WThe Magistrates’ Court handles less serious offenses, while the Crown Court deals with more serious crimes. Your case will be directed to the appropriate court based on the nature of the offense. We will explain the specifics of your case and what to expect from each court.

WLegal aid eligibility depends on the type of offense and your financial situation. We will help you determine if you qualify and assist with the application process if you do. If you do not qualify, we will discuss other payment options and ensure you understand the costs involved.

WSolicitors typically handle the preparatory work and represent clients in the Magistrates’ Court. Barristers, on the other hand, specialize in advocacy and represent clients in the Crown Court. We work closely with both to ensure you receive comprehensive legal support.
