Need a criminal defence solicitor outside your local area? Ghafar Khan acts for clients throughout England and Wales, combining direct solicitor involvement with experienced, time-served barristers and senior counsel selected for the needs of the case.
National criminal defence with direct access to Ghafar Khan
Although based in North West England, Mr Khan has travelled nationally for criminal cases throughout his career. Instructions can be taken urgently by telephone or secure video conference, enabling early work to begin wherever the police station or court is located.
Coverage includes police stations, Magistrates’ Courts and Crown Courts across England and Wales, with particular local pages and experience in Blackburn, Blackpool, Preston, Lancaster, Burnley, Chorley, Accrington, Great Harwood, Manchester, Rochdale, Oldham, Bradford, Stafford and surrounding areas.
Serious and complex criminal cases
Ghafar Khan undertakes criminal defence work rather than trying to cover unrelated areas of law. His practice focuses particularly on:
- drug possession, supply and multi-handed drug conspiracies;
- money laundering, restraint proceedings and Proceeds of Crime Act matters;
- complex fraud, conspiracy to defraud and regulatory investigations;
- murder, serious violence and organised-crime allegations;
- sexual-offence and counter-terrorism investigations;
- telephone attribution, call-data records, cell-site analysis, EncroChat, ANPR and other digital evidence.
How can a national solicitor manage my case?
Many conferences, document reviews and case-preparation steps can be completed securely by telephone or video. Court attendance and advocacy are then arranged at the relevant location. Where a barrister or King’s Counsel is required, the advocate can be chosen for their experience in the particular allegation and evidence.
Legal aid and privately funded work
Legal-aid instructions are accepted where the client and case qualify, and an application can be submitted. Police-station advice is generally free for a suspect being interviewed. Private funding is also available, including for urgent advice, second opinions and suitable international case supervision.
