Criminal Defence
& Motor Offences.
Suspected of a criminal offence? Don't gamble with your representation.
A person who is accused of any serious criminal offence feels the full weight of the police and CPS come down on them. Defending yourself without adequate support is tough. We understand it's a terrifying and worrying time.
Our specialist criminal defence lawyers commit fully to your case. Their skill, experience, and expert knowledge, by your side.
Once the police decide to focus in on you, they almost never change their minds. All of their resources are focused on finding evidence that helps them to secure a conviction.
Many suspects spend hours or days in the police station with the prospect of serious charges hanging over them for months. Having to trust a criminal defence lawyer you haven’t known before to represent you in a case that can affect everything in your life is a frightening prospect.
You should be reassured to know that at LMP Legal, we have years of experience in representing all kinds of individuals, including many high profile individuals, in the most serious of crimes and potential charges. We leave no stone unturned in providing the highest quality representation to our clients.
Our involvement at an early stage in proceedings frequently leads to clients avoiding charge altogether. If matters do progress, we have the resources and contacts necessary to carry out extensive investigations and to ensure meticulous trial preparation.
Reputation management is also at the heart of what we do. We can minimise the impact of a serious criminal allegation on you as an individual or an organisation.
We commit fully to your case with our full range of skills, experience and contacts.
We put the time in. If it means multiple lawyers on the team or more hours, then that's what we do. It is not just a ‘case’ to us. It is our client’s life and livelihood. We choose top KCs and Barristers. The case that our specialist lawyers prepare must be perfectly presented to the jury.
We don't rest until every avenue has been explored. Site visits, second post-mortems by our pathologists, DNA experts, phone experts, and witness tracing are just some of the areas we explore.

Our criminal motor defence team are specialist criminal lawyers with years of experience in the criminal justice system, geographically spread across the UK. We are experts in speeding, drink driving and motoring offences such as careless and dangerous driving. We ensure that every client feels protected from the outset, and fight hard for each and every client, leaving no stone unturned, to gain the best possible result in every case.
Each member of our team understands the anxieties that drivers experience when they are unexpectedly implicated in a criminal investigation following a fatal or serious road traffic collision. With the introduction of the new offence of causing serious injury by careless driving and life sentences in causing death by dangerous driving cases, the stakes have never been higher.
Our early involvement ensures access to critical information which is otherwise unavailable until the conclusion of any criminal investigation and subsequent proceedings allowing for an early and credible assessment of civil liability.

4 Simple Steps if you’re accused of a crime…
•
Avoid any contact with police without speaking to a solicitor. This includes family liaison officers, who can and will gather evidence in the case, often without being upfront about it.
•
•
Get a top firm of specialist solicitors to represent you or the family member you're helping. The duty solicitor or local high street solicitor may not be a specialist in this area.
•
•
Ensure that you can rely on support from a friend or family member. They can attend meetings with you and support you through what is often a very stressful process.
•
Anxious about funding?
You may be able to instruct LMP Legal to defend you if you are one of the many people with legal expenses insurance. You may have cover as part of your motor insurance, home insurance, professional indemnity insurance or various other forms of insurance.
If you are facing police investigation, criminal proceedings or an employment dispute you should check whether you have any policies which may cover the cost of your legal representation.
LMP Legal solicitors have successfully defended clients who have funded their case through legal expenses insurance.
