FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of criminal cases do you handle?
We handle the full range of criminal defence work — from serious cases such as murder, sexual offences, fraud and firearms, through to motoring offences, domestic allegations and regulatory investigations. Whether you are under investigation, have been arrested, or are facing trial, we provide specialist representation at every stage.
What does a criminal solicitor do?
A criminal solicitor advises and represents you throughout the criminal justice process. This includes advising you at the police station, reviewing prosecution evidence, building your defence strategy, preparing your case for court, and representing you — or instructing specialist counsel — at trial.
Can I change solicitors if I had the duty solicitor at the police station?
Yes. You are entitled to instruct a solicitor of your choice at any point. If you were represented by the duty solicitor at the police station and wish to switch to Lostock Legal, we can take over your case. We would advise doing so as early as possible so your defence is on the right track from the outset.
Will my case be kept confidential?
Absolutely. Everything you tell us is protected by legal professional privilege — one of the strongest confidentiality protections in law. We handle every case with complete discretion. Nothing you share with us will be disclosed to any third party without your consent.
