Criminal Interview Advice Solicitors

It isn't uncommon for someone entirely innocent to make a false or inaccurate confession under the pressure of a police interview — often through panic, exhaustion, or simply not understanding what's actually being asked. Mistakes made in that moment are very difficult to undo afterwards.

You have the right to free and independent legal advice at the police station, whether you're attending voluntarily or under arrest — and there are genuine strategic choices to make before any interview: answering questions fully, providing a prepared written statement instead, disclosing defence evidence in advance, or requesting disclosure from the police before you respond at all.

None of those choices should be made without advice, since each carries different consequences for how the case develops afterwards — and anything said, or deliberately not said, once a caution is given can be relevant later at trial.

We advise before interview on what to expect and which of these strategic options is right for your circumstances, and attend with you, so you're not making decisions about what to say without proper advice.
