What should I do if I'm arrested?
If you are arrested, request to speak to a solicitor immediately. You have the right to legal representation, and it is crucial to have a solicitor present before answering any questions.
Can I choose my own solicitor?
Yes, you can choose your own solicitor. You are not obligated to use the Duty Solicitor. Simply inform the Custody Officer that you would like Symes Bains Broomer to represent you.
What are my rights during a police interview?
During a police interview, you have the right to remain silent or provide a full explanation. Our solicitors will advise you on the best course of action based on the circumstances of your case.
What is the Police Duty Scheme?
The Police Duty Scheme provides free legal representation at the police station. Symes Bains Broomer can represent you under this scheme, ensuring you receive expert legal advice and support.

We understand the stress and uncertainty that come with police station interviews. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing immediate, expert legal advice and representation, ensuring your rights are protected at every step
