About us
We are specialist criminal defence solicitors based in London but representing clients across the nation.
We offer our clients in-depth specialist knowledge coupled with bespoke defence tactics to give you the best chance of winning your case. Our panel of in-house and independent advocates are all masters of advocacy who appear every day before criminal courts. They know the judges and the magistrates who sit in different areas and, importantly, what arguments will work to achieve the outcome you want.
What's makes us different?
Nearly all criminal defence solicitors across the country rely on legal aid, which forces them to adopt the pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap business model. At Hartley's Criminal Defence Solicitors, we decided we couldn't provide the very high quality service our clients deserve while overloaded with legal aid cases. So, we do not accept any legal aid work. This means we only take on cases we can handle and that we will always have time to focus on your case
