COMPLEX AND SERIOUS HIGH PROFILE CRIME

Offences of such serious nature include murder, serious drug related matters and sexual offences as well as historical allegations which often attract if convicted lengthy custodial sentences. It is essential in such cases to engage a legal team such as Lexis Solicitors whose lawyers have years of experience in guiding their clients through the complicated legal issues and processes involved in such matters and thereby diminishing any clients’ anxiety in their time of difficulty.

Lawyers at Lexis Solicitors we have a wealth of experience in dealing with high profile nationally recognized criminal cases which have received extensive national media coverage. We guide our clients throughout the legal process from investigation at the police station stage to trial if necessary. 

Many cases benefit from the introduction of an experienced legal team at the earliest opportunity to prevent, if possible, a case from even proceeding to charge and court. 

Our lawyers are regularly asked by clients to take over their case from Solicitors that they have previously instructed. This can happen at any stage of an investigation or prosecution; however, it is always best to have the proper team instructed from the outset to avoid any delays with transferring cases which could take several weeks. 

There can be many reasons for why you wish for your case to be transferred to a different firm of solicitors than what you had at the outset. For example, the existing solicitor may feel that for professional reasons they can no longer continue to represent you. In some cases, you may feel that your relationship with your existing solicitors has simply broken down, or you have lost complete confidence in your solicitor’s ability to represent you properly. 

Some clients feel that transferring representation will be an awkward, embarrassing, or difficult process, and for cases which are publicly funded there are strict criteria which must be present before a case is transferred to another solicitor. At Lexis Solicitors we are used to dealing with such enquiries and can reassure clients that any transfer of their case will be smooth, free of embarrassment and always in their best interests.

Lawyers at Lexis Solicitors are leaders in defending those accused of serious high profile and complex crime.
