Legal Aid solicitors

The Practice aims to ensure that clients receive a combination of the best representation possible and a dedication to client care in an endeavour to minimalise the stress that usually surrounds criminal proceedings.

Since 1982 Reynolds Dawson has developed a reputation as a specialist criminal practice, particularly in the fields of criminal Legal Aid. We represent those accused of every type of criminal offence, and particularly where appropriate have fee earners who specialise in the area of serious and complex fraud, extradition and the representation of professional people in relation to criminal offences and internal disciplinary procedures.

We are extremely experienced in representing those who are funded by their staff associations as well as those who are granted Legal Aid through the Legal Services Commission and the Courts.

We are ever mindful in cases where employees are funded by staff associations, or unions, of the need to monitor closely such funding arrangements.

Following a successful franchise application in 1998, Reynolds Dawson holds a crime franchise.

The Practice continues to deal with serious fraud cases, and is a member of the Very High Costs Criminal Cases Panel of the Legal Services Commission. The Practice has a category 1 status following an LSC audit in 2004.

The Practice operates within the framework of franchising requirements in the areas of law in which a franchise was granted.
