Straw and Pearce has built a reputation as one of the top criminal defence firms in the East Midlands. That reputation is based on a careful attention to detail and a determination to fight every inch of the way on our clients' behalf. Over the years our experienced criminal defence team has dealt successfully with every kind of criminal proceeding from motoring offences to fraud and murder. We helped set up the local duty solicitor scheme more than 25 years ago. All our criminal defence solicitors are qualified members of the current scheme. We have particular expertise with young offenders and the youth court including local authority ASBO applications. We also deal regularly with regulatory and licensing prosecutions whether prosecuted by local or central government.
Our advice and assistance for criminal clients is available 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Insist on your rights if you are held at a police station and always ask for a solicitor.
