Interview under caution?
Allow me to help.
Whether you’ve been arrested or invited to attend a voluntary interview, it can be a harrowing experience. Some cases are made or broken at the interview stage. Having someone there who understands this well can put you at a significant advantage. When your police interview representative has practical experience in dealing with cases that go all the way to trial, they have the foresight to advise you comprehensively. When your ‘solicitor’ is unclear about how things could pan out, they could give you the wrong advice.

Advice at the stage
that shapes the case.
Why the police station stage matters
What you choose to say (or not to say) can affect the whole course of an investigation. Even if you’re desperate to give your account and dispute the allegation, sometimes it’s better to submit a carefully drafted prepared statement than to answer all questions openly. Early legal advice can influence whether you end up being charged in the first place.
What I can do for you at the police station
- Receive disclosure before the interview and ask further questions about any missing detail
- Advise you privately and confidentially about the allegation and your options
- Discuss whether it’s in your best interests to give an account or to exercise your right to silence
- Represent you during the interview and intervene when necessary
- Explain the various case disposal options and advise you about what’s likely to happen next
The advantage of continuity
If you’re charged and given a court date, I’ll already know what’s been said and the extent of the evidence against you. There will be no need to explain everything again to somebody new.
Personal support
I will discuss your circumstances and help you to understand the situation. I can professionally support you before, during and after the interview takes place.
After the interview
I will help you understand the next steps and discuss whether you are likely to need any further representation.
