Kelly's Solicitors

We offer a flexible service tailored to individual needs, whether you are summonsed or charged, including "out of hours" and SKYPE appointments, which are available on request. We act in all areas of criminal defence, including for mentally ill and vulnerable defendants. We represent people in the police station, the Magistrates Courts, Youth Courts, Crown Courts and Higher Courts.

Attendances for interviews at the police station are free of charge, regardless of your income and savings. Attendances for interviews other than at the police station, for example, at the Benefits Agency or Council offices are free in most cases, where you are in receipt of benefits. Legal Aid is usually available so long as the offence is deemed by the Court to be serious enough (the "Interests of Justice" Test).

We understand the dramatic effect that the loss of a person's driving licence can have on their lives and livelihood. We are experienced in this complex area of law and have, in the past, acted in defending cases where we have successfully argued both 'Special Reasons' and 'Exceptional Hardship'. We have acted in a number of cases where serious accidents have occurred and have instructed experts to analyse the accident scene to establish fault.

We are experienced in acting in a broad range of sex offences including the most serious rape, sexual assaults, historic sexual allegations, indecent images, underage sex and all related offences and sanctions.

We understand the consequences that arrest, charge and trial can have on a person's life as well as the implications of how even a conviction for the most minor offence can result in details having to be entered on to the Sex Offenders Register.
