Venters Solicitors are a leading firm in defending allegations of violent crime and our team are here to represent you. We understand that facing charges such as these can be extremely worrying, and we are here to guide you every step of the way. Your case is our priority.
We advise that you seek legal help at the earliest opportunity, which may be as soon as a police investigation begins. This enables us to give you guidance on the options available to you and to ensure that all of the relevant evidence is gathered from the outset of your case.
Violent crimes can be extremely complex and diverse, but some of the more common violent offences include assault, GBH, manslaughter and murder.
Assault, ABH (Actual Bodily Harm) and GBH (Grievous Bodily Harm) are all brought under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 and they are classified based on the degree of severity. ABH, which is less serious than GBH, have differing convictions and sentencing, however, the level of foresight, the motivation for the offence and the injuries inflicted will be the main differentiating factors.
At Venters Solicitors, if your case is serious and complex, we are able to put a team of criminal law experts in place to assist with the preparation and running of your case as well as arranging for you to be represented by a Solicitor/ Barrister when required. If your case is sufficiently serious, you may choose to be represented by a King’s Counsel which is a Solicitor/Barrister who has been awarded this title based on his or her competence and experience. They undertake the most serious of cases and if you are privately funding your case you may choose King’s Counsel to represent you.
If you need representation Venters Solicitors are here to help.
