What happens if you’re arrested by the police?
by Jeanette Appleton | Dealing with the Police
I have been working as a criminal lawyer since 1996 after a spell working in a Magistrates Court. I am also an Accredited Police Station Representative and am often called to represent clients in the police station, day and night.
I am vastly experienced in the preparation of serious cases, such as fraud, murder, serious assaults and sexual offences for trial in the Crown Court. I have represented clients being interviewed and/or prosecuted by the Crown Prosecution Service, Serious Organised Crime Unit, HMRC and DWP. I have also dealt with high profile cases that have featured on news reports.
I maintain close contact with my clients and work hard to achieve the desired result. I have a good eye for detail when preparing cases and I am experienced in dealing with vulnerable people and youths.
I am a strong and tenacious defender of my client’s interests and I am well versed in all aspects of criminal procedure and law. I have made many successful representations to the police and to prosecuting authorities, which have led to cases being dismissed.
I am happy to undertake work on a private or legal aid basis.
