Our specialist criminal defence team in Swindon represents clients across Wiltshire facing allegations ranging from motoring offences, assault and harassment to serious sexual and violent offences.
We place particular emphasis on pre-charge representation. Our solicitors advise before police interviews, examine the evidence as an investigation develops and make representations to Wiltshire Police when there are grounds to challenge an allegation or argue against charge. The aim is to make a difference while the case is still being investigated, rather than waiting for a court date.
If proceedings follow, we represent clients in the Magistrates’ Court and Crown Court. Reeds’ Crime team is ranked Band 1 by Chambers UK and Tier 1 by the Legal 500 for the South West, the highest rankings awarded by either directory.
Drug offences (including possession with intent to supply Class A and B drugs, conspiracy to supply, cannabis production and cultivation, and possession offences)
Our criminal defence team regularly represents clients at Swindon Magistrates’ Court. We act for people facing proceedings there from across Swindon and the surrounding area, including Wroughton, Highworth, Royal Wootton Bassett, Marlborough and nearby towns and villages.
