Criminal Defence in Nationwide: Your Questions Answered
What are summary offences in the UK?
Summary offences are less serious criminal offences that are dealt with in the Magistrates Court rather than the Crown Court. Common examples include minor road traffic offences, public order offences, and low-level assault. Even though they are dealt with summarily, a conviction can still have serious consequences.
Do I need a solicitor for the Magistrates Court?
While you are not legally required to have a solicitor, having professional legal representation significantly improves your chances of a favourable outcome. A criminal defence solicitor will advise you on the charge, review the evidence, and represent you effectively in court.
What should I do if I am asked to attend a police interview?
You have the right to legal advice before and during a police interview. We strongly recommend contacting a solicitor before you attend. Anything you say in a police interview can be used as evidence, and having proper legal advice from the start is essential.
Can I appeal a Magistrates Court conviction?
Yes. If you have been convicted at the Magistrates Court and believe the decision was wrong, you can appeal to the Crown Court. The appeal must be lodged within 21 days of conviction. Contact us as soon as possible if you wish to appeal.
