Serious Crime

Criminal Law Specialists

We routinely represent clients facing some of the more serious allegations. Once again we would hand pick the most experienced counsel to defend our clients. Over the years we have accumulated a wealth of experience in finding gaps in the prosecution case. In addition we pay particular attention to an extensive and thorough examination of the unused material in each investigation. We have found that this approach gives us the edge when seeking to undermine the prosecution case before the courts.
 

Middleweeks Solicitors have been involved in the leading case on disclosure (R v H & C) in which we represented (C). This case resulted in the acquittal of (C) on the prosecution's failure to disclose key evidence. The case is highly regarded as the leading case on disclosure and was decided in the House of Lords.
