Magistrates’ Court Representation

Magistrates’ Court Representation Solicitors

Appearing at the Magistrates’ Court – Need The Best Representation?

If you’re appearing before the Magistrates’ Court, you will need advice and representation from people who know what they are doing.

Sills & Betteridge Solicitors offer one of Lincolnshire’s largest and most experienced team of Magistrates’ Court advocates. Our team are proud to have unrivalled success representing our clients. The solicitors have dealt with all categories and types of offences and their expertise both in terms of advocacy and the law, means that you can be confident that you will receive the best possible representation.

Representation FREE of Charge in most circumstances

In many criminal cases legal aid is available (subject to a means test), in the Magistrates Court. This means our specialist criminal team can provide representation for free. (In the Crown Court a contribution may be required). In certain circumstances, where free representation is not available, we are able to offer competitive private fee rates and fixed fee representation.

Sills & Betteridge Solicitors regularly receive and accept instructions from other firms of solicitors, on an agency basis, where they are unable to offer the expertise necessary to represent their own clients. They trust Sills & Betteridge Solicitors to do this on their behalf, demonstrating that we are held in high regard by our peers.

Can You Take Over My Existing Case?

Many clients approach Sills & Betteridge Solicitors to represent them in the Magistrates Court having been represented at the Police Station interviewed by another firm. If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to call.
