Police Representation
It’s not just about sharing the burden and easing the stress whilst under investigation, but about getting on top of the facts quickly, seeing if there is a valid defence and advising on the most appropriate course of action going forward for you.
Our criminal defence solicitors will be in your corner from start to finish. If the investigation results in a charge or prosecution we will also represent you and prepare your defence during court proceedings. We will be there as a supportive, patient, non-judgmental advisor throughout.
If you are questioned by the police, make sure you ask for Howells Solicitors as your free duty solicitor to support and help with police station representation.
Contact us to request police representation or call us on 0114 2235 803.
Already been interviewed? It’s not too late…
Even if you have already been interviewed and have been bailed to return at a later date, it is not too late to seek help and advice. There may be factors to your case that have not been brought to the attention of the police that could be crucial to your case and will influence the outcome.

Duty Solicitors
There is a common misconception that a solicitor is only for guilty people and that hiring one can be expensive. This has led to 40% of the UK population attending a police station with no legal representation.
However, everyone is entitled to free legal representation when being interviewed by the police, whether they are guilty or innocent.
You’re also entitled to request your own solicitor, or law firm (as long as they offer free legal help) and you do not have to accept the duty solicitor that the police offer you.
You can request a preferred law firm, such as Howells Solicitors, to offer police station representation, You simply just ask for us at the police station. If the interview is prearranged, contact us at any time, so we can arrange for a solicitor to attend with you.
If you need a duty solicitor, you can request Howells Solicitors for free or call us on 0114 2235 803 or 07774 162757.
