Services
If you have been asked by the police to attend the police station, then please notify our office and we can make an appointment for you to see one of our representatives in the office prior to going to the police station, and also ensure that we are there from the moment you go into the police station.
Over 95% of criminal cases are resolved in the magistrates court. In the magistrates court we have developed a reputation for proactive, persistent and incisive defending of our clients. This has resulted in a high success rate in securing acquittals for our clients. When an acquittal cannot be achieved, or a guilty plea is the appropriate plea, we employ those same qualities to secure the best result for our clients.
In the crown court, together with the independent barristers we work with and instruct on our client's behalf, our well earned reputation as a premier criminal defence is recognised by the results we achieve for our clients. The barristers we instruct to represent our clients share the same philosophy of proactive defending and the incisive judgement that underpins everything Hennessy and Hammudi do.
This area of law is predominantly procedural and very technical. You can have the same level of expertise as a premier league footballer or celebrity. Our legal team have successfully defended in many traffic cases, ensuring that defendants avoid disqualification and points on their licence.
In those cases where a defence is not available, our expertise in road traffic law ensures we are able to mitigate effectively to reduce the penalty imposed by the court.

If you are detained in the police station, you are entitled to free legal advice which will involve a solicitor attending the police station to represent you throughout your time at the police station. However many times you are required to return to the police station during the course of a criminal investigation, there is no limit on the number of times that Hennessy and Hammudi Solicitors will attend with you.

I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart this wonderful agency. I emphasize that this company represented me from state fees. I felt compassion and a warm attitude from this team. She treats her clients like a mother who protects her children. The company did a great job and the prosecutor denied all charges. Thank you dear from our family for being such. With love and trust AR. 😇

Was asked by a Client of theirs to assist with a reference in a Court case. Telephoned numerous times over a one week period, left messages for either of the Solicitors in the case to call me. Heard nothing back, so I eventually contacted the Boss on his mobile to complain. He promised me a call back. Again I heard nothing. Appalling customer service.
