The Benefits of Hiring a Private Lawyer At The Police Station Over Legal Aid
When facing serious criminal allegations such as: distribution of indecent images, Grevous Bodily Harm, Possession with Intent to Supply Class A. It is always important to consider arranging for a Lawyer to attend on a private basis as more time will be allocated to your case.
Criminal matters at the police station funded by Legal Aid can often result in over worked Solicitors arriving at the police station as they have had several other clients to advise prior to consulting with you.
Here are the benefits of hiring a private Lawyer from Gilbert Legal Services, compared to relying on legal aid.
1. Tailored Attention and Unlimited
Private lawyers, such as those at Gilbert Legal Services, typically have smaller caseloads compared to solicitors funded by legal aid. This allows them to dedicate more time and resources to your case, ensuring a thorough defence strategy. Some of the tailored practices include writing letters to officers who are in charge of your case and Crown Prosecution. Lawyers at Gilbert Legal Services dedicate up to two hours of work which includes an hour consultation.
2. Continuity of Representation
With a Private Lawyer, you are more likely to have consistent representation throughout your case. We dedicate our time to one case at a time and have a case waiting list for those who are needing emergency assistance. We do not take on more than 65 cases for the year ! This ensures great and affective representation. You will not have to wait days on end for a returned phone call or answer to your enquiry. Legal aid solicitors may change during proceedings due to high workloads or reassignments, potentially disrupting your defence.
3. Clear Communication
Private Lawyers provide more direct communication channels, keeping you informed about every stage of your case. At Gilbert Legal Services, clients receive regular updates and personalised guidance. You will be provided with clear deadlines and outcomes for when you are likely to be contacted. Or a clear estimation of how long it will take for you case to be resolved.
4. Flexibility in Approach
We can explore creative and proactive defence strategies that may not be feasible under the constraints of legal aid funding. This could look like meeting at our offices for an in-depth consultation on how best to approach your legal problem and the possible defences you could use prior to your police station attendance.
7. Reputation and Confidence
Hiring a well-regarded Private Lawyer from Gilbert Legal Services sends a strong message to those to Police officers and Prosecution service that you are serious about your defence, potentially influencing negotiations and outcomes. It can also have an affect on the way the officer involved in the case deals with your matter pre and post interview. Officers are also overloaded with cases and can take long to provide an outcome. Hiring private services mean that we constantly chase outcomes and they will feel the need to respond as a matter of urgency.
