Crown Court Proceedings

Where your case is too serious to be heard by the Magistrates Court it will be sent to the Crown Court for trial. This is because the Crown Court has greater sentencing powers and the cases are often more serious and complex. Our dedicated team of Crown Court Solicitors will prepare your case and instruct an barrister or higher rights advocate who will protect your interests during your Court Proceedings.

Howells Solicitors is recognised as one of the top criminal defence law firms in the UK, and proudly ranks as the number one criminal defence solicitors in South Yorkshire on Review Solicitors.
