Common questions

Crime & Regulatory: common questions

Useful answers before you choose a solicitor.

Do I need a solicitor at the police station?

Yes. You have the right to free legal advice at the police station regardless of your income, and you should use it. A solicitor will advise you on whether to answer questions, make sure the interview is conducted properly, and can often influence how the investigation develops. Never go through a police interview alone.

What happens at a first court hearing?

A first hearing usually takes place in the magistrates court shortly after you are charged. The court confirms your identity, hears the initial plea (or adjourns it), and decides bail conditions. Your solicitor will have prepared in advance, advised you on plea, and will make representations on bail if needed.

How much does a criminal defence lawyer cost?

Police station advice is free for everyone. For court cases, legal aid covers most people who pass the means and merits test; if you fund privately, ask for a written quote. Magistrates court cases often carry fixed fees, while Crown Court work is usually estimated in stages so you always know where you stand.

Should I use the duty solicitor or hire my own?

The duty solicitor scheme provides competent, free advice at the police station and is a sensible choice in an emergency. For anything beyond the first interview, many people prefer a firm they have chosen themselves, with continuity of representation through to court. There is nothing wrong with instructing your own solicitor from the outset.
