Criminal Defence Solicitor Shrewsbury | 24/7 Legal Help

If you need a criminal defence solicitor in Shrewsbury after an arrest, voluntary interview, police bail, postal requisition or Crown Court notice, contact Ghafar Khan now. Advice can begin before police questioning and continue throughout the investigation and court proceedings.

Criminal solicitor serving Shrewsbury and central Shropshire

Ghafar Khan provides criminal-defence services to people from Shrewsbury, Bayston Hill, Meole Brace, Harlescott, Monkmoor, Copthorne, Bicton, Battlefield, Sundorne and surrounding Shropshire communities. This is a service-area page and does not claim a permanent Shrewsbury office. The Lancashire office is in Blackburn; representation can be arranged throughout England and Wales.

Early representation is particularly valuable where a case involves an interview account, CCTV, identification, financial records, drugs allegedly found in shared premises, mobile-phone attribution, messages or several alleged participants. Contact should be made before interview wherever possible.

Arrest and voluntary interviews in Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury is within the West Mercia Police area. The force identifies Shrewsbury Police Station at Clive Road, Monkmoor, Shrewsbury, SY2 5RW. Custody and interview arrangements can change, so confirm the location stated by the police or on your bail paperwork and use the official West Mercia Police station finder for current public information.

Police-station legal advice is free and independent. Ask for Ghafar Khan by name. If you are invited to a voluntary interview, obtain advice before accepting the appointment: attendance by arrangement does not make the allegation informal or minor.
