London based criminal defence with a national reach.
Our clients face the most challenging criminal accusations that could see them lose their livelihoods, families and freedom.
We use our decades of experience to guide you through a complicated and intimidating criminal justice system with as little pain as possible.
We have represented people in all walks of life from high profile individuals including business leaders, chart topping musicians and politicians through to everyday people on the street; but we offer absolute discretion, so you won’t see us talking to the press about your case unless you ask us to.
At Hartley’s Solicitors we have a tried and tested process that we put into practise in every case whether it’s a murder, a fraud, or a traffic offence. First, we analyse the evidence and identify flaws in the prosecution case. Next, we work with you to identify your defence and find how we can best put your side of the story to the judge and jury. Then we go out and gather whatever evidence is needed to help you – that could be witness accounts or expert evidence. Finally, we instruct the very best barristers to represent you in court and protect your future. All of this requires a deep knowledge of the law and the facts of your case, which is why we think it’s so important that your solicitor works on a small number of cases at a time.
You will receive a personal service from your own dedicated solicitor who has a relatively small caseload at any time meaning they can focus on defending you. We can do this because, unlikely virtually every other law firm, we do not represent legal aid clients. Law firms who offer legal aid must take on large numbers of legal aid clients to stay in business. We prefer to work hard for our clients.
