SH&M have considerable expertise in the area of Criminal Law. We have the ability to assist clients in a wide ranging scope of offences from minor motoring matters to murder.
Commonly the first point of contact we will have with our clients will be at the police station following their Arrest and Detention. If any charges are brought following arrest and detention at the police station they will be dealt with in the Magistrates Court and the more serious of those charges will be sent to the Crown Court.
We at SH&M have a contract with the Legal Services Commission under the Legal Aid Scheme to provide advice and representation in the police station, at the Magistrates' Court and in the Crown Court.
Under the contract that we have with the Legal Services Commission, SH&M are also able to offer clients' help, assistance and representation in Prison law. This applies mainly to disciplinary and parole board hearings.
