OUR ROLE
We advise clients on how to deal with legal matters at police stations.
We have experience dealing with the police and will continually assist clients whilst they are in police custody.
Any individual detained by the police has a right to free and independent legal advice. This is the case at any time of day, and regardless of wealth, age, or nationality.
Our fundamental duty is to act in the best interests of clients. We are under an obligation to treat their interests as paramount.
Our specific objectives are:
1. Securing information
We are under an obligation to obtain as much relevant information as possible about the alleged offence from the police.
2. Advising in private
We will seek a private room at the police station to be able to advise clients in private.
3. Advising on matters arising during the period of detention
The advice given is not limited to solely an initial consultation. Clients are entitled to continuous legal advice whilst they are in police custody, especially when other matters arise on which they may require or need legal advice.
4. Presence at police interviews
Police interviews are crucial and play a significant role in defence. We will therefore make ourselves available throughout the interviews.
5. Acting ethically
We are under a professional duty:
-
To keep clients' affairs confidential, which means that we cannot pass on information about clients and the matters we discuss in private to the police unless we have the client's consent;
-
To pass on to clients all material and relevant information in relation to their case regardless of the source of that information; and
-
Not to compromise ourselves in relation to our clients.
