The Police frequently do make mistakes

We recognise that being arrested can be one of the most stressful and bewildering of experiences both for the person concerned but also for close family and friends that may be affected by that arrest. Everyone would like to have confidence that the Police have arrested the right person but as we are all constantly reminded by miscarriages of justice, the Police frequently do make mistakes and the wrong person is often arrested.

Seek legal advice as soon as possible

The process that occurs at the Police Station whilst the Police are investigating a crime can be the foundations of a case against you. This is why it so important that Specialist Legal Advice is obtained as soon as possible.

Benefit from your own specialist firm of solicitors

We know from experience that people arrested and under investigation at a Police Station benefit from receiving accurate and timely Legal Advice. The Police may say things such as: ‘You are entitled to have a solicitor present but you don’t really need one’, ‘your own solicitor will take hours to arrive’ or ‘we just want your side of the story and then you can go’! Given the circumstances it is easy to see why a lot of people just accept this; however it is essential that you bear in mind that the Police have arrested you because they believe you have committed a crime and therefore you can only benefit from seeking the advice of a specialist firm of solicitors dedicated solely to defending the rights of persons in Police Stations and beyond. Remember, you’re not there to simply “help the police with their enquiries” – you’re there because they think you’re guilty!
