Our seven-step process.

Pre-charge police negotiation

It is critically important to communicate with the police at the early stages of an investigation. We may be able to ‘steer’ the direction of the investigation and influence decisions made by the Crown Prosecution Service. Many of our clients are not charged with offences despite being accused.

Police station advice and representation

The police may want to carry out multiple interviews in relation to a single allegation, particularly if new evidence is discovered or evidence of further offences. We will be able to obtain ‘pre-interview disclosure’ before the interview takes place. This will provide us with an opportunity to explain to you what evidence the police have and how to respond. In some cases, you may be advised to say nothing.

Detailed expert analysis of prosecution evidence & unused material

Lots of sexual offences are committed online. This is a new and developing area of law and often relies in expert computer evidence. It can be very difficult for the CPS to prove who committed offences online, particularly with an increase in hacking and remote computer access. You may have accessed illegal material without knowing. Be careful who you share your Wifi password with!!

Third-party requests for disclosure (e.g. phone records & social service records)

If you have been alleged to have committed an offence against another person (a complainant), have you considered the complainant’s background? Could this person have made previous similar complaints against other people? What’s the motivation behind the allegation? Mobile phone records, social service records and medical records can help to build a profile of the accuser.

Site visits (the ‘locus in quo’)

Does the story stack-up? If the alleged offence is supposed to have happened at a particular location, a site visit may help discredit the complainants account. The description of the location given by the complainant may not be accurate. Past cases tell us that complainants can become confused overtime.

Preparing defence witness statements

Witnesses could confirm an alibi or corroborate your account. Try to ‘line up’ your defence witnesses early on and prepare witness statements. This can provide us with the ammunition we need to get the case dropped. We will liaise with your witnesses and obtain statements directly from them.

Detailed cross-examination of prosecution witnesses

Cross-examination is process of questioning a prosecution witness at trial. This could be a police officer, expert witness or complainant. The purpose of cross-examination is find fault with a witnesses account or discredit the witness in court. It is a fine art and should be left to experienced barristers.

We do not work with Legal Aid due to the restrictions it can place on a firm in these time-critical circumstances.

    Marcus sorted out my images case for me. Top team got me a great result. Really pleased with the outcome as I can now move on with my life. Thanks Marcus

    I contacted Marcus after being arrested and accused of accusations I did not do, after speaking to him on the phone and explaining my story , Marcus advised me on a lot of details in cases related to my situation. Although it cost me a lot of money which was a hard hit to take for something I did not do Marcus informed me that it may be the best money I’ve spent , and gambling with something that could potentially change my life in a bad way forever was not a gamblers I was willing to take. Marcus had my confidence that him and his team would get the outcome I was aiming to achieve which they did! I also would like to thank Rhiannan the assistant of Marcus who was available and also asked me if there’s anything I need to contact her anytime. Would recommend.

    Pcd Solicitors were very friends, never judged, heard your side of the story and listened to how you got to the offending. They actively set out to help contact people and the police. Explain everything and anything you were unsure on. Especially Rhiannon she was extremely kind spoke to me like a human being. After researching for Solicitors I came across PCD and they contacted me the same day after i put in an enquirey. They have fixed prices and payment plans to help.

    After a horrendous experience being arrested for a serious allegation, I contacted PCD online. Within 20 minutes at about 8pm, I had a call from Dylan. After a 20 minute call, I knew I was in good hands Alicia was on the case as soon as instructed and has been there throughout. Received the NFA letter with huge relief, and the team were still there, reassuring me. Grateful for the support and reassurance of a responsive team.
