Police Stations

 

Anyone detained in custody, or indeed attending a police station on a voluntary basis, for an alleged criminal offence has the right to free and independent legal advice. Should you be in this position and request representation by Shepherd Harris & Co, the police are duty-bound to contact us on your behalf; no matter what time of day. Alternatively, if you are making enquiries on behalf of somebody who is being detained by the police or needs advice regarding a police investigation, simply ring the 24-hour police station line (see below) for immediate assistance.

 

Court appearance

 

If you are due to appear before a Magistrates or Crown Court, we can help. We have the benefit of a Legal Aid Contract and can therefore apply for Legal Aid where appropriate. If granted this will take care of any legal fees. There are situations when a contribution may be sought from a defendant, but we will advise and assist you through the process. Where legal aid is not available we will advise on the likely costs.
