Criminal Defence Solicitors Coventry

Reeds Solicitors are specialist criminal defence lawyers representing clients in Coventry, Warwickshire and the surrounding area. Our team is nationally recognised as top tier by Chambers UK and the Legal 500, with experience defending the full range of criminal allegations, from motoring offences and harassment matters to cases involving violence, sexual offences, fraud and organised crime.

We represent clients from the earliest stage of an investigation by West Midlands Police, including following arrest, in voluntary interviews and throughout the pre-charge period. Early instruction allows us to examine the evidence, identify weaknesses in the allegation and make representations to the police or CPS seeking to prevent a charge.

Where court proceedings follow, our solicitors provide clear advice and experienced representation at Coventry Magistrates’ Court and in the Crown Court.
