Police Interview Solicitors Leicester

If you have been arrested or asked to attend a police station for questioning, it is important to have experienced legal representation to protect your rights and interests. Our specialist solicitors provide police station representation in Leicester and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Through our dedicated 'Night Owl' service, we can arrange for a qualified duty solicitor to attend a police station or court at any time, day or night, 365 days a year, anywhere in the country.

Having a solicitor present during a police interview is extremely important, as anything you say during questioning could have a significant impact on your case. Although police officers may appear friendly and approachable, their role is to investigate the allegations, not to provide you with independent legal advice.

We strongly recommend speaking to an experienced criminal defence solicitor before answering police questions or taking part in a formal interview. Our team can explain your rights, advise you on the allegations and ensure you understand the process before proceeding.

A police interview will generally involve three main stages:

1. Disclosure – The police provide information about the allegations and explain the circumstances surrounding the investigation.

2. Private consultation – You have the opportunity to speak confidentially with your solicitor, who will advise you on the allegations and your legal position.

3. Recorded interview – The police conduct a formal interview under caution, during which your responses are recorded.

You have the right to remain silent, although the potential consequences of answering or declining to answer questions should be carefully discussed with your solicitor beforehand.

Following the interview, the police may decide to:

 Charge you with a criminal offence

 Release you on bail while further investigations take place

 Release you with no further action (NFA)

If you or someone you know has been arrested or invited to attend a police interview in Leicester, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
