CRIMINAL LAW

What is Criminal Law?

Criminal law is a set of rules that defines what constitutes a criminal offence and outlines the procedures that come into play when law enforcement officials investigate and charge individuals with these offences.

This includes when the police suspect that an individual has committed a crime, when the prosecuting authorities charge an individual, and when the accused must appear in a criminal court.

If an individual admits to committing a criminal offence or is found guilty by the court, they will be subjected to various forms of punishment, including fines, community unpaid work orders, or imprisonment.

Suppose you find yourself suspected or accused of a criminal offence. Criminal law solicitors can assist you in protecting your legal rights and presenting your case in court to ensure a fair hearing.

They can represent you when the police allege that you have committed a criminal offence, advocating for your interests to ensure you receive the best possible outcome.
