Criminal Defence

Astons Law Chambers does not publish a catalogue of confidential client outcomes. Defence strategy and results depend on the individual evidence, allegation, procedure and circumstances of each case.

Police station representation is available around the clock for clients who have been arrested or asked to attend a formal or voluntary police interview.

The practice represents suitable clients at first appearances, pleas, case management hearings, trials and sentencing proceedings in the Magistrates' Court.

Suitable Crown Court matters can be handled from preparation through trial. Fees and scope are agreed according to the allegation, evidence and complexity of the case.

Appeal work can include advice on prospects, preparation of grounds and representation at the relevant hearing where the case is suitable.

The practice can represent families and interested persons in appropriate inquest proceedings, including pre-inquest review and hearing stages.
