Effective criminal defence combines meticulous preparation with clear and persuasive advocacy. Ghafar Khan represents clients directly as a Solicitor and High Court Advocate and can instruct a specialist barrister or King’s Counsel when the nature of the case requires it.
Defending a criminal allegation
The defence team must understand the evidence, identify the legal issues and present the client’s case with precision. Representation may begin during a police interview and continue through the Magistrates’ Court, Crown Court, sentencing proceedings or an appeal.
What effective criminal defence involves
- protecting the client’s rights at the police station;
- challenging unreliable, inadmissible or wrongly attributed evidence;
- making focused representations and court applications;
- preparing witnesses, experts and the defence case;
- providing robust advocacy at trial, sentence or appeal.
Advocacy matched to the case
The advocate should have experience suited to the allegation and evidence. Ghafar Khan undertakes advocacy himself and works with experienced barristers and senior counsel in serious cases involving drugs, conspiracy, fraud, money laundering, murder, serious violence, organised crime and complex digital evidence.
Legal aid instructions are accepted where the case and client qualify. Private representation can also be arranged throughout England and Wales.
