Frequently asked questions

Can I have a solicitor at the police station?

Yes. Everyone in police custody in England and Wales has the right to free, independent legal advice — regardless of their financial situation. Insist on it before any interview.

How long can the police hold me?

Generally up to 24 hours, extendable to 36 or 96 hours by a superintendent or magistrates' court for serious offences. For terrorism offences different rules apply.

Are you SRA-regulated?

Yes. Legal services are provided by [Firm Name], authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under SRA No. [SRA Number]. You can verify our regulation on the SRA register at sra.org.uk.

Do you offer a free initial enquiry?

Yes. We offer a free initial enquiry by phone or via our online form so we can understand your matter, explain how we can help, and outline likely costs before you commit. Please call [Phone Number] or use the enquiry form on this page.

How much will it cost?

It depends on the complexity of your matter. Where possible we work on fixed fees; otherwise we give you a clear written estimate at the outset and tell you straight away if anything changes. We will never present you with an unexpected bill.
