The Role of a Defence Solicitor in Sexual Offence Cases
Defence Solicitors in Sexual Offence Cases
Facing allegations of a sexual offence is an extremely serious and distressing experience.
Our Holborn Adams expert defence solicitors provide specialist sexual offence legal support, ensuring your rights are protected and that you receive a fair hearing.
Our Role in Your Defence
Protecting Your Rights
We safeguard your legal rights at every stage of the process, from initial arrest and questioning, through to trial.
Our sexual offence team ensures that police and prosecutors follow proper procedures, and that you are treated fairly at all times.
Clear Legal Advice
You will receive confidential advice tailored to your circumstances. We explain the charges, possible outcomes, and your legal options in plain English while ensuring you are thoroughly prepared for interviews and court appearances.
We will also introduce you to our experts in counselling for sexual offences and therapy that run alongside your defence. This plays a vital role in your case and your personal recovery. Your expert therapy is covered under privilege too, allowing you to speak freely.
Building Your Defence
We carry out detailed investigations on your behalf, including:
- Gathering and analysing evidence such as CCTV, phone records, or witness statements.
- Identifying weaknesses or inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case.
- Working with expert witnesses where necessary to challenge forensic or psychological evidence.
Strong Representation in Court
Our Holborn Adams defence solicitors provide robust defence in court. Our work includes:
- Applying for bail where possible
- Cross-examining witnesses appropriately and effectively
- Challenging unreliable or inadmissible evidence
- Presenting your case clearly to judge and jury
A Sensitive and Professional Approach
Sexual offence cases are handled with the utmost care. We respect the sensitivity of the issues involved while providing a determined defence on your behalf, always mindful of the strict rules surrounding these cases.
Support Throughout the Process
We understand how stressful these allegations can be. Beyond legal advice, we provide reassurance and guidance to help you navigate every step of the process with confidence. This includes the support of family members. You can rest assured that we are available 24/7 to deal with any questions that keep you awake at night.
Always remember, we will continue pre-charge and post-charge representation where necessary to ensure we get your case thrown out at any opportunity.
