Criminal justice in the UK refers to the system through which crimes are investigated, prosecuted, and punished. It involves various agencies, including the police, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the courts, and the prison/probation services. Navigating this system can be complex, making professional legal support crucial if you’re under investigation or facing charges.

What is criminal justice in the UK?
- Investigation: The police gather evidence, interview suspects, and decide whether to pass a case to the CPS.
- Prosecution: The CPS reviews evidence to determine if there’s a realistic prospect of conviction and whether a prosecution is in the public interest.
- Court proceedings: Cases can be heard in the Magistrates’ Court or the Crown Court, depending on the severity of the offence.
- Sentencing: If found guilty, a judge or magistrate imposes a sentence, which can include fines, community orders, or imprisonment.
- Rehabilitation and probation: Post-sentencing services aim to prevent reoffending, offering support and supervision for those released on licence or probation.
How can a solicitor help me navigate the criminal justice process, and what does it cost?
A criminal solicitor can:
- Advise and represent you: Ensuring you understand your rights, options, and possible defences from the investigation stage onward.
- Manage court appearances: Preparing your case, calling witnesses, and cross-examining the prosecution’s evidence.
- Negotiate with prosecutors: Exploring plea bargains or reduced charges when appropriate.
Costs vary based on the complexity of your case and the solicitor’s experience, typically ranging from £100 to £300 per hour. More serious or lengthy matters—especially those proceeding to the Crown Court—will naturally incur higher fees due to extra preparation and advocacy. If you can’t afford private representation, you may be eligible for legal aid if the case meets certain criteria. An initial consultation (often free) will help clarify whether you qualify for legal aid and provide a rough estimate of private representation costs.
