What does a criminal defense lawyer do in the UK?
- Police interviews: Advising you on whether to answer questions or exercise your right to remain silent, and ensuring fair treatment during questioning.
- Case assessment: Reviewing evidence, witness statements, and any available defences to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s argument.
- Representation in court: Presenting your case at bail hearings, magistrates’ court trials, or Crown Court proceedings.
- Plea negotiations: Exploring options to reduce charges or secure a more lenient sentence through discussions with prosecutors.
- Appeals: Challenging a conviction or sentence if there are legal grounds to do so.
How much does a criminal defense lawyer cost?
Costs vary based on the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the solicitor’s experience. Many criminal defense solicitors charge £100–£300 per hour, while more involved cases or Crown Court trials can incur higher fees due to the additional preparation and advocacy required. If you can’t afford private representation and the charges are serious enough, you may qualify for legal aid, which helps cover solicitor fees. An initial consultation—often free—can clarify your eligibility for legal aid and provide an estimate of likely costs if you choose private representation.
