Understanding the Court Process

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.

What should I do if I receive a court summons?

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.

Navigating the legal system can be daunting, but with our dedicated team by your side, you can be assured of professional and compassionate representation. We are committed to demystifying the process and providing clear, actionable advice tailored to your unique situation.

What are the differences between the Magistrates’ Court and the Crown Court?

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.

What is the role of a solicitor compared to a barrister?

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.
