Whether you plead guilty, or find yourself convicted after a trial or a Newton Hearing, it’s important to know that the Court has sentenced you correctly and proportionately. It could be your liberty which is at stake, your driving licence, or the chance to engage in rehabilitation with the Probation Service or Youth Offending Team within the community. You may have received an ‘ancillary order’ such as a Criminal Behaviour Order, Restraining Order, Sexual Harm Prevention Order or similar. We can advise you as to whether the terms of this are fair or whether they could be varied.
Sentencing can be tricky, and in addition to the Sentencing Guidelines that the Court often has to follow for the relevant offence, a number of other factors need to be taken into account in order to determine the appropriate sentence. It is unsurprising therefore, that occasionally the Court might make a mistake in deciding your sentence.
At Reeds Solicitors, our lawyers will always advise you at the end of your case as to whether there is any basis for appealing your sentence.

Our specialist team will ensure that we have all the relevant information and evidence to put before the Court, as well as case law which may support your argument.
