Allegations of fraud including criminal investigations, can be very stressful and emotional for all those involved. We’re here to take the worry off your hands and explain everything to you. We will fight for you, building the most robust defence strategy possible, to ensure the best outcome for you, your family and, where necessary, your business.
Pre-Charge Representation
We offer our clients a robust ‘pre-charge’ service. We are able to consider whether it is in your best interests to challenge illegal searches and arrests, contest restraint (freezing) orders, analyse whether authorisation for surveillance is properly granted, prepare detailed letters of representations and assist with the return of seized property. Being proactive from the outset can sometimes lead to the investigations being halted.
