We are a major criminal defence practice situated in the City of London specialising in all types of criminal cases. Warriors: we fight for our clients, we fight for each other and we fight for what we believe in. We are a predominantly legal aid practice specialising in criminal law, covering the full spectrum of criminal allegations from road traffic offences to murder.
We are able to apply for Legal Aid for many of our clients. Legal Aid is granted by the Legal Aid agency and is means tested. This means that if you are on a low income or not working then you should be able to apply for Legal Aid. R v O - The Defendant was charged with Possession with Intent to Supply of Cannabis following a raid on his house where cannabis was found.
We were very honoured to be joined by Mr Grayling himself, protesting against his reforms to the legal aid system. FACT: The average UK criminal defence solicitor earns between 20,000 and 45,000 a year. In addition to the working day we are required to be available on evenings and weekends, day and night, every day of the year.
We have many satisfied clients who we have represented from first interview at the Police Station right though the Criminal Justice system to either Magistrates Court or Crown Court. We pride ourselves on supporting our clients every step of the way. The comments below are just some of the comments taken from the client questionnaires that every client receives at the end of their case.
We are able to offer you advice and representation from a charge of simple possession of a class 'b' sustance to the more serious supply and production of class 'a' drugs charges. If you have been charged with an offence contrary to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 then get in touch with one of our expert team.

This was my first interaction with CDS services and they have been an absolute delight and ooze efficiency with a capital ‘E’. They put the T into thorough, F into friendly and P into Professional. My assigned Solicitors/Lawyers Clement and Howard were extremely professional and took active time to listen in detail to the information I provided them with.
I'm happy to say I won my case. I highly recommend this company to anyone that wants honest and genuine advice. The last 10 months have been absolute hell waiting for the trial but Clement took active measures to make sure I clearly understood

Critical: Responsiveness
Very rude staff, not helpful at all. Wouldn't recommend using them if you are going through a serious matter you would be asking for trouble.

Do not use these people, as has been said before they are only interested in money - literally walked me to the cash machine as their machine didn’t work. They did no work until I had paid them and then we’re hopeless in their handling of an important matter to me.
If you have any sort of legal problem avoid at all costs!!

Absolutely useless, refused to give me details of a previous case I had with them (which im pretty sure is illegal) and then said they didnt have to do anything whilst swearing. She then said she would call me back which never happened.
