This page describes a service area covering Tewkesbury, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Evesham, Pershore and north Gloucestershire. It does not represent that Ghafar Khan maintains a separate branch office in Tewkesbury. Meetings and representation are arranged according to the circumstances and venue.

Arrested or invited to interview in Tewkesbury?

Ask for Ghafar Khan by name. A person under arrest is entitled to request free and independent legal advice at the police station. A voluntary interview is also recorded under caution and may be relied upon later, so it should not be approached without advice merely because the person is free to leave.

If a relative has been arrested, call or WhatsApp 07500 556587 with their name, date of birth if known, the police station and custody number. The detainee should also tell custody staff that they want Ghafar Khan contacted. For current station information use the official Gloucestershire Constabulary website.

Courts and hearings serving Tewkesbury

There is no general criminal court in Tewkesbury. Depending on the charge and the current HMCTS allocation, a case may be listed at Cheltenham Magistrates’ Court, Gloucester Crown Court or another venue stated on the official notice. The venue on your current paperwork must be followed.

Check current official information through Cheltenham Magistrates’ Court. Addresses, counters and listings may change. The date, time and venue on the latest official communication take priority.

If a summons, postal requisition, charge sheet or bail notice has arrived, contact Ghafar Khan promptly. Provide every page, not just the first page. Early review can identify the allegation, next hearing, funding position, bail issues and evidence that needs preserving.

Local travel and practical information for Tewkesbury

Tewkesbury is associated with Tewkesbury Abbey, the River Avon and the town’s historic centre. Tewkesbury does not have a central mainline railway station; Ashchurch for Tewkesbury is the closest rail connection for many journeys. Bus and road travel may be needed for courts in Cheltenham or Gloucester, so confirm the venue and allow suitable time.

Take identification and all case papers. Court users and belongings may be searched. If illness or disruption may prevent attendance, obtain advice immediately: failing to attend can lead to a warrant or separate bail consequences.
