Criminal defence for Ashbourne and the Derbyshire Dales

Ashbourne serves a wide rural area at the edge of the Peak District. Distance should not prevent early legal advice. Ghafar Khan represents clients in matters ranging from driving and public-order allegations to serious drugs, conspiracy, violence, fraud, money laundering and digital-evidence cases.

Ashbourne police arrangements

Derbyshire Constabulary says the local safer-neighbourhood team is based at the combined Ashbourne Police Station and Fire Station on Park Road. A neighbourhood base is not necessarily the custody or interview venue for every investigation. Confirm the location with the officer before setting out.

If police invite you to an interview under caution, contact Ghafar Khan before agreeing the date. If arrested, ask the custody officer to contact him. Police-station legal advice is free and independent.

Court travel from Ashbourne

Criminal proceedings may be listed at Derby Magistrates’ Court, The Court House, 18 St Mary’s Gate, Derby DE1 3JR. Serious cases can proceed to Derby Combined Court Centre, Morledge, Derby DE1 2XE. Always use the court stated on your personal papers.

Ashbourne has no railway station. Bus and road connections run towards Derby, while some journeys may involve a taxi or lift. The Market Place, St Oswald’s Church and nearby Dovedale are familiar landmarks, but court users should plan directly to St Mary’s Gate or Morledge and allow time for security.

Ashbourne criminal solicitor FAQs

I have been asked to attend voluntarily. Can I refuse?

Do not simply ignore the request. A voluntary interview avoids arrest at that point, but police may consider arrest if attendance cannot be arranged. Contact Ghafar Khan so the position and proposed interview can be handled properly.

I am accused of drink or drug driving near Ashbourne. Can you help?

Yes, subject to professional checks. Procedure, samples, timing, identification and any medical evidence may matter. Call immediately and keep all paperwork.

My case is going to Derby Crown Court. Will Ghafar Khan act?

He will consider the charge, next hearing, funding and current representation. Send the papers by email and call or WhatsApp to discuss availability.

I cannot reach court because of travel disruption. What should I do?

Contact your solicitor and the court immediately. Do not assume the hearing will be adjourned. Ghafar Khan can consider what evidence and application are required, but the court decides.
