Reviewing and Taking Over Existing Police Station Cases

We are often instructed to review and take over police station matters where another solicitor or duty representative has already been involved.

This may be because a client wants a second opinion, has concerns about earlier advice, or simply needs a more proactive approach.

When we take over a case, we obtain the disclosure, review any interviews already conducted, assess the advice previously given and identify whether further enquiries or representations are required. We can advise on additional written representations to the police, requests for further evidence, or whether a follow up interview is appropriate.

Where necessary, we liaise directly with the police, the investigating officer or the CPS to ensure your position is properly advanced and that any issues affecting the fairness or progress of the investigation are addressed.
