Because some things can’t wait

Cartwright King has a legal helpline for multiple locations, offering free emergency legal advice if you are taken to a police station. We provide fast access to specialist legal advice and representation in an emergency to ensure that your rights are protected.

We also have a legal helpline for cases involving mental health issues, offering free emergency legal advice during our standard office hours. Our dedicated Mental Health Solicitors are members of the Law Society’s Mental Health Accreditation Scheme and are highly sought after for advice and representation concerning all aspects of detention, treatment and a person’s rights under mental health law.
We’re here for you every hour of every day. Come rain or shine.
