Solicitor representation for Voluntary Interview Under Caution
Lucinda Dore Solicitors have been representing clients facing interviews under cautions (also referred to as voluntary or PACE [Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984] interviews) for over 20 years. We specialise in providing expert personal legal representation on a private basis to ensure that you receive the level of attention that you will need at a time like this, we will be by your side from start to finish so that you don’t need to deal with the situation alone.
Our experience shows that seeking legal advice at the earliest opportunity often achieves the best outcome as we can ensure that you are fully advised and prepared for the interview, which is often an unknown experience. If instructed at an early stage, we will be able to contact the interviewer or investigator on your behalf in advance to obtain pre-interview disclosure which will often include part or all the evidence that they have (or don’t have) against you which will help us to advise you of all of your options at your interview. We will be able to attend the interview with you, so you do not need to attend alone.
Obtaining a solicitor is equally important if you have not done anything wrong – one of the biggest mistakes that we hear from clients is attending an interview under caution without a solicitor with fear that it will make them ‘look guilty if attend an interview with a solicitor’ – quite the opposite is usually the case.
