Representation is available for a wide range of criminal allegations, including serious violence, drug supply and conspiracy, fraud, money laundering, organised crime, digital evidence and cases involving telephone or cell-site material.
- Police-station attendance and advice

- First appearances, bail and Magistrates’ Court proceedings

Police interviews and investigations in Blackburn
Free and independent legal advice is available at the police station whether you have been arrested or asked to attend voluntarily. A voluntary interview is still a formal police interview and what is said may become evidence in a criminal case.
If police have contacted you, ask them to contact Ghafar Khan before interview. Where an investigation involves phones, messages, financial material, CCTV or location evidence, early advice can also help identify records that may need to be preserved.

Blackburn Magistrates’ Court and Crown Court cases
All criminal cases begin in a Magistrates’ Court. Blackburn Magistrates’ Court handles criminal work, while more serious cases may proceed to the Crown Court according to the charge, allocation process and court listing arrangements.
For cases involving serious allegations, preparation may include reviewing witness evidence, disclosure, telephone data, digital material, financial records and expert evidence. The defence strategy should be built around the evidence against the individual rather than assumptions drawn simply from association with other defendants.
