I Have Been Arrested What Should I Do?


Being arrested or contacted by police can be frightening and can send people into an overwhelming sense of panic and anxiety. Ultimately these feelings will increase your vulnerability when at the police station, leading you to make rash decisions ,and not being able to process the events as you would if it was not happening to you. This is one of many reasons having a specialist lawyer on your side from the moment police contact is made is important to protect your position, legal rights and to ensure advantage is not taken of you. 


Our experienced team is dedicated to ensuring your rights and legal position are protected from the outset. Our tailored approach to all cases enables us to take the steps necessary to put you and your case in the best possible position.


Using the Duty Solicitor or Paying Privately


If you are arrested you will be given the option of the duty solicitor at the station, this is likely to be a solicitor or qualified police station representative who is on duty to handle all interviews at police stations within a certain area at one given time. Their representation is paid for by the government under the Legal Aid Scheme meaning it will not cost you any money. However, by using the duty representative you could be one of many within that station, or area. We feel that the level of service received when opting for the duty solicitor is miles apart from instructing a lawyer on a private basis. Therefore, if you have the option to seek private advice and representation when in custody for a sexual offence, or offence arising from domestic violence, particularly when instructing our lawyers, you will be given as much time, advice and guidance as is required by you.

With EventumLegal, you gain more than just legal representation; you gain a partner who is committed to protecting your rights, your reputation & your future.

Search Warrants and Seizure of Your Property


It is not uncommon for property to be seized where a suspect is accused of a sexual offence or domestic abuse.  The equipment likely to be of interest to the police is mobile phones, tablets, and computers.


If you are faced with "the knock" and presented with a search warrant, it is essential to have our experts advise you on your rights and the lawfulness of the search procedure.

We work to ensure that searches are executed lawfully, protecting you from potential overreach and preserving the integrity of your property and privacy.

Avoiding Criminal Charges


Eventum Legal provides knowledgeable guidance on the process of being charged, and the specific tests required to be met by the prosecution service in order to charge a suspect with an offence. With a strong knowledge of the charging standard applied by the Crown Prosecution Service our aim is to always prevent charges for clients at the police investigation stage of their case.

If you are charged we can explain to you the charges you face, craft a robust defence strategy, and prepare you for potential court proceedings, mitigating the stress and uncertainty of this challenging situation.


Challenging Police Bail 


Bail conditions can severely impact your ability to live life as you normally would.  In some cases bail conditions can even be disproportionate and unnecessary.


As part of our pre-charge representations we keep your conditions under continuous review and where necessary challenge the conditions to ensure you are not overly restricted, and the police are acting fairly and lawfully during the investigation.
