SERIOUS CRIME

home > expertise > serious crime

Sonn Macmillan Walker has considerable experience in the full range of serious and complex criminal cases.

We are a member of the Legal Services Commission panel authorised to undertake “very high cost cases”. These are cases where the trial is predicted to last longer than 8 weeks.  Whilst many firms claim to possess experience in conducting such cases, few actually have that experience.

Serious cases are given priority by the prosecuting agencies and defendants should therefore engage solicitors who are accustomed to dealing with such cases. 

This firm has considerable experience in defending clients charged with offences including:

  • Murder
  • Manslaughter
  • Importation of drugs
  • Kidnap
  • Arson
  • False imprisonment
  • Possession of firearms
  • Serious sexual assault     
  • Death by careless driving
  • Death by dangerous driving
  • Serious fraud
  • Internet crime
