Blog questions answered
Who writes the articles on this blog?
Every article is written by our own criminal defence and family law team — solicitors who handle these cases at the police station, in the magistrates’ and Crown Court, and in the family court every week. Nothing here is outsourced or generated for search engines alone.
Is the information on this blog legal advice?
No. Articles are general information about how the law works in England and Wales. They cannot account for the facts of your case, and reading them does not create a solicitor–client relationship. For advice on your own situation, speak to us directly — initial advice is free.
How often is the blog updated?
We publish new articles regularly and revise existing ones when the law changes or a judgment shifts the position. Criminal procedure, sentencing guidelines and family court practice change often, so a recent article is always the safest starting point.
Can I rely on an older article?
Treat older articles as background rather than a statement of the current law. If a piece is central to your situation, check the date at the top and then speak to us — we will tell you whether it still reflects the law and how it applies to you.
Do you cover care proceedings as well as criminal law?
Yes. We write about both. Our criminal law articles cover police station rights, interviews, bail, fraud and financial crime, drug offences, sexual offences and confiscation. Our care proceedings articles cover the family court process, emergency protection orders and parental rights.
Can I ask a question about something I've read?
Yes. Call us on 07752 20 30 40 or send an enquiry through the contact form. We do not give case-specific advice by email, but we can explain the general position and arrange a confidential conversation about your circumstances.
