It is not just the police who prosecute criminal offences-the Department of Trade and Industry, County Council, Probation Service, RSPCA or any number of agencies who can bring prosecutions for the many criminal offences in English and Welsh Law. Motoring offences can catch anyone out and have far reaching consequences.

We represent clients at all stages of the criminal justice system including the Court of Appeal and Criminal Cases Review Commission.

Between the partners Mike Pope and David Martin we have over 40yrs experience of criminal law mostly in West Cumbria where we are established members of the Duty Solicitor scheme.  We believe our life experience results in a more rounded approach to our advice and the way we give it. We pride ourselves on our no-nonsense approach and robust defence of clients. We speak in plain English and make our mobile numbers directly accessible to you, so you won’t have to get through a secretary to speak to us, and that includes all hours-if we answer the phone at midnight on a Saturday that is our choice (if we don’t it is probably because we are at the police station!).

We handle all casework ourselves. The only work we delegate is for expert reports and instructing a barrister for Crown Court cases. We only use appropriately experienced barristers that fit your case.

We suggest you look at our FAQ page which we hope answers your questions but if not please ring us or send an enquiry/email.
