If you have been arrested by the Police you ordinarily have the right to take independent legal advice at any time at no charge to yourself. Rowberry Morris can offer you advice and representation at the Police Station, all our staff are fully trained and well experienced in the work that they do. In many cases the advice and assistance provided by Rowberry Morris at the Police Station will affect whether proceedings are brought against you or how those proceedings will progress later. Most criminal prosecutions will either be started by a person being charged or summoned to attend Court. Rowberry Morris criminal department will give you advice on the nature of the prosecution, the procedural rules under which the defence will take place, tactics to be adopted, advice on plea or the appropriateness of the charges brought if pleas are to be entered on appropriate mitigation and evidence to be obtained to advance your mitigation and if the matter is to proceed to trial a systematic analysis of the evidence against you, and advice on how to deal with it.
Cases can often take weeks or months to pursue.
Very often Clients who would be remanded in custody get acquitted of the original charges. Rowberry Morris applies pressure on the Prosecution to get its tackle together and to pursue cases through the Courts speedily. We do not let go when we sense that cases are dragging their feet or the Prosecution is delaying matters unnecessarily. We will challenge them at every stage in the procedure if this is in your interests. Rowberry Morris deals with the cases in the Youth Court sympathetically with specialist advocates who understand the needs of the people who have found themselves in trouble with the Police or other statutory Authorities and we can advise you and your child how to approach such problems which would be in your best interests.
