Criminal defence assistance in Matlock and the Derbyshire Dales

Matlock is the county town of Derbyshire and serves a wide rural area. A criminal allegation can be especially difficult when the police station, court and home are some distance apart. Ghafar Khan assists with serious and general criminal matters, including drugs, conspiracy, violence, fraud, money laundering, driving offences and cases involving call data, cell-site or mobile-phone attribution.

Matlock Police Station

Derbyshire Constabulary says the Matlock Safer Neighbourhood Team is based at Matlock Police Station on Bank Road. A neighbourhood base is not necessarily the custody suite or interview venue for every case. Confirm the exact location with the officer and do not attend solely on the basis of a general online address.

If police ask you to attend voluntarily, you can arrange legal advice in advance. Send the appointment details to Ghafar Khan. If arrested, ask the custody officer to contact him. Advice at the police station is free and independent.

Court hearings for Matlock cases

Matlock does not have a current general criminal court listing shown by HMCTS. Cases may be directed to Chesterfield Justice Centre, Tapton Lane, Chesterfield S41 7TW, or another venue. Always follow the court address printed on your summons, postal requisition, charge sheet or bail notice.

Matlock railway station is near the town centre and Hall Leys Park; services connect along the Derwent Valley line. Chesterfield requires an onward road or public-transport journey. Riber Castle and the Heights of Abraham are familiar local landmarks, but they are not court locations. Check connections and allow time for security.

Matlock criminal defence FAQs

Police want me to attend an interview in Matlock. Is it free to have a solicitor?

Legal advice for a police interview is generally free, whether you are arrested or attend voluntarily. Contact Ghafar Khan before the interview so arrangements can be checked.

I received a postal requisition but the court is outside Matlock. Is that normal?

Yes. Court areas cover more than one town and venues can change. Do not assume the notice is wrong. Send it to Ghafar Khan so the charge, date and venue can be reviewed.

Can Ghafar Khan defend a drug-conspiracy case from Derbyshire?

Yes, subject to conflict and funding checks. His work includes serious drug, conspiracy and communications-evidence cases from police station to Crown Court.

I cannot attend my court date. Can it simply be adjourned?

Do not assume so. The court decides whether to adjourn and may require evidence. Contact Ghafar Khan immediately; he can consider the papers and the appropriate application, but no result can be promised.
