Criminal solicitor serving Birmingham and the West Midlands

Ghafar Khan provides criminal-defence services to clients from Birmingham city centre, Aston, Handsworth, Edgbaston, Erdington, Selly Oak, Harborne, Bournville, Stechford, Small Heath, Sparkbrook, Sparkhill, Hall Green, Ladywood, Perry Barr and Sutton Coldfield. Birmingham is a service area: this page does not claim a permanent Birmingham office. The Lancashire office is in Blackburn, and representation can be arranged throughout England and Wales.

Early advice matters where the police rely on an interview account, CCTV, identification, banking records, drugs allegedly found in shared premises, mobile-phone attribution, encrypted messages or alleged links between several defendants. Ask for legal representation before answering questions or agreeing to a voluntary interview date.

Arrest and voluntary interviews in Birmingham

Birmingham is within the West Midlands Police area. Police buildings, public enquiry offices and custody suites do not necessarily provide the same services. Confirm the precise custody or interview location with the officer, and check the official West Midlands Police station finder before travelling.

Independent legal advice at the police station is free. Ask the custody officer or investigating officer for Ghafar Khan by name. If a relative has been arrested, call with their full name, date of birth and likely custody location; the detained person must still request or authorise the solicitor.

Birmingham Magistrates’ Court

Birmingham Magistrates’ Court is at Victoria Law Courts, Corporation Street, Birmingham, B4 6QA. HMCTS lists the venue as handling crime and Single Justice Procedure cases. The listed building has security screening, restricted access in places and no on-site public parking. Follow the venue, date and time shown on your own charge sheet, postal requisition, summons or hearing notice.

Magistrates’ Court work can include first appearances, bail and remand, allocation, summary trials, sentencing and sending cases to the Crown Court. Send the complete paperwork privately if you want Ghafar Khan to consider representation and any legal-aid application.

Birmingham Crown Court representation

Birmingham Crown Court is at Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts, 1 Newton Street, Birmingham, B4 7NA. HMCTS lists it as a criminal court. Ghafar Khan is a Criminal Defence Solicitor and High Court Advocate and can consider serious and complex cases from investigation through preparation, advocacy and trial.

If your case is already before the Crown Court, send the indictment or charges, hearing date, bail or remand position and details of any existing solicitor or legal-aid order. Do not miss a hearing while waiting for a response; urgent applications require the court papers and accurate dates.

Can Ghafar Khan take my Birmingham Crown Court case?

Potentially, yes. Send every page of the indictment, charge or hearing notice privately, together with the next date, bail status and details of any current representation. The case can then be considered promptly.

I am accused of drug conspiracy or money laundering in Birmingham. Can you help?

Yes. Ghafar Khan’s serious-crime work includes drug supply and conspiracy, fraud, money laundering, organised crime, phone evidence and confiscation proceedings. Early review can identify issues concerning attribution, context, disclosure and alleged association.

Can I get legal aid for a Birmingham criminal case?

Police-station advice is free. Court legal aid depends on the proceedings and eligibility assessment. Ghafar Khan accepts legal-aid instructions where the requirements are met; read the criminal legal-aid guide.

What should I send for an urgent response?

Privately send your full name, allegation, police or court location, next date and a safe time to call. Clear photographs of all pages of the official paperwork are helpful. Use WhatsApp, SMS or email rather than posting case details publicly.

General information only, not advice about an individual case. Police, court and transport arrangements can change. Follow your official paperwork and obtain advice about your circumstances.
