We will consider initial disclosure and any other evidence and provide advice.
We will arrange to take any witness statements if necessary. (This will have an additional cost of £25 per witness).
We will explain the Court procedure to you, so you know what to expect on the day of the hearing, and the sentencing options available to the Court.
We will conduct any further preparatory work, obtain further instructions from you if necessary and answer any follow up queries you have.
Please note that we cannot provide a time of when your hearing will take place on the day, as this depends on the Court listing for that day.
We will attend Court on the day and meet with you before going into Court. We anticipate being at Court for half a day in a guilty plea and in the case of a summary trial one day.
