If you've been arrested or asked to attend a police station for an interview, you have the right to legal representation. Our expert criminal defence solicitors are available around the clock to protect your rights.
Police station representation means having a qualified solicitor or barrister present with you when you attend a police station. This can be for a voluntary interview, after arrest, or when you are being detained.
Under UK law, you have the right to have a solicitor present during any police interview. This is not just a formality – it's a fundamental right that can significantly impact the outcome of your case. Having an experienced criminal defence solicitor by your side ensures that you understand what's happening, know your rights, and don't accidentally say something that could harm your case.

Police officers are trained to gather evidence and build cases. A solicitor ensures your rights are upheld throughout the process and that the police don't overstep the mark.
You don't have to answer questions without legal advice. A solicitor can advise you on which questions to answer and help you prepare your responses carefully.
Police must follow strict procedures when questioning you. If they don't, this could affect the admissibility of any evidence gathered. We know these procedures inside out.
If you're detained, we can make applications for police bail and argue for your release while the investigation continues.
Police station representation is available free of charge for everyone, regardless of your financial situation. You don't need to pay anything for a solicitor to attend the police station with you.
If you're arrested, the police must inform you of the reason for your arrest. You'll be taken to the police station and booked in. This is where you should immediately request a solicitor.
You have the right to speak to a solicitor before and during any police interview. The police must allow you this opportunity. Insist on speaking to a solicitor – don't waivre this right.
The police will want to ask you questions about the alleged offence. With a solicitor present, you'll receive advice on how to respond. Remember, you can decline to answer questions in some circumstances.
If you're detained, your case must be reviewed by a senior officer at regular intervals. We can argue for your release if there's no justification for keeping you in custody.
At the end of the process, the police will either release you with no further action, release you on police bail, or charge you with an offence. If charged, we'll advise you on next steps and represent you in court.
