We continue to successfully protect the rights of the individual in all areas of criminal law in cases that can be national, international and multi-agency.
"Our reputation speaks for itself."
Aziz Rahman, Partner
The modern criminal case is not merely decided on eye witness testimony. Issues such as whether evidence is admissible in court or if the prosecution should disclose evidence helpful to the defence can be crucial factors.
That is why our criminal lawyers always know the very latest legal developments. No stone is left unturned in making sure the strongest possible defence case is put together. Our lawyers have wide-ranging experience of defending the most complex and serious cases. And our reputation means that we are able to instruct the most able counsel to conduct trials. We only ever appoint Counsel, Queen's Counsel and experts who have passed our vigorous vetting procedures.
High Profile Cases
Rahman Ravelli routinely deals with large, high profile cases and is experienced in dealing with criminal matters all the way to the House of Lords. We are at the cutting
edge of new developments in criminal law. The appeal of Rv H and C (Click here for Law report) to the House of Lords is a Rahman Ravelli case. This case is now the leading
authority on the prosecution's obligations regarding disclosure to the defence.

Our criminal law team includes solicitors, accredited police station representatives and individual caseworkers.
We are available 365 days a year, 24 hours a day to provide expert advice and assistance to our clients. Our Quality Mark means that our services are free to those eligible for no cost legal advice.

Recognised Expertise
There are usually huge amounts of case papers and documents in complex and serious cases.

This ability has led to us being awarded individual case contracts from the Complex Crime Unit of the Legal Services Commission (LSC) and we have been appointed to its Specialist Fraud Panel and Very High Cost Case (VHCC) Panel. To gain and retain such status involved rigorous auditing and assessment.
