Have you or a member of your family been arrested or charged with an offence?

If you find yourself accused of an offence, we can help guide you through the process that lies ahead. Contacting our team urgently is the first step on the road to achieving the best possible outcome in your case.

No two cases are the same, and we provide legal advice and legal representation without judgement that is tailored individually to you. Our solicitors can represent you in every aspect of the law other than advocacy (participation in court proceedings) as this is within the remit of a barrister.

Whether it is you or a family member who needs representation or advice, the experienced team at Lawtons in Cambridge can assist you. Get in touch today.

What we can do to protect your future

Being accused of a crime is a stressful and often distressing experience. Your future and reputation are on the line, and we can help. At Lawtons we provide 24-hour legal representation, including assistance at police stations in Cambridge and Peterborough, as well as offering legal advice over the phone or in person.

If you have been detained by the police, it is crucial to know your rights. Contact an expert criminal defence solicitor to represent you before a police interview and before any formal questioning takes place. The more innocent you are of the offence in question, the more crucial it is that you are represented by an experienced solicitor. Even at a voluntary police interview this is highly recommended.

We can also offer guidance if you are asked to attend a police station in Cambridge on a voluntary basis. Specialist criminal defence representation is advised in these circumstances.

Representing you in court in Cambridge

Our highly experienced team regularly represent and defend clients in criminal cases at magistrates’ courts and Crown Courts across Cambridgeshire including:

  • Cambridge Crown Court
  • Cambridge magistrates’ court
  • Peterborough magistrates’ court
