Criminal Departhment:

The Firm holds a Legal Aid Franchise and Criminal Contract, and as such, is part of the Criminal Defence Service. To a large extent the firm`s objectives mirror those of the Criminal Defence Service in that we aim to ensure that our clients have access to high quality advice and representation at Police Stations, Magistrates and Crown Courts.

Our offices in Llanelli and Swansea are both located at very short distances from the Police Stations and Magistrates Courts.

We have arrangements in place to ensure that representation can be provided at short notice at the local Police Stations and Courts. We also retain a list of suitably qualified Counsel whom we instruct to represent clients at both the Magistrates and Crown Courts.

The head of the Department is Partner John Allchurch. John was admitted as a solicitor in 1982. He is a Duty Solicitor and a Crown Court Advocate, supported by experienced solicitors, Andrew Isaac and Rachel Elimelech who provide a swift and professional service, and can be contacted 24 hours a day for emergency work.

Any of the team can be reached on our main contact number.
