Understand Your Situation
Allegations of sexual offences against children evoke strong emotions. We ensure you receive a fair, objective, and forensic defence.
Defending Against Child Abuse Allegations
The stigma attached to these charges is overwhelming. We provide a shield against the public pressure. Whether the allegation is recent or historic, we test the evidence without emotion.
In cases involving young children, the 'ABE' (Achieving Best Evidence) video interview is central. We employ psychologists to analyse the questioning. Was the child led? Were the questions suggestive? We often find that well-meaning adults or investigators have inadvertently contaminated the child's account, rendering it unreliable.
Social Services Involved?
We help manage the investigation to protect your family access.
Plan Your Defence
Regulatory and Family Impact
These charges immediately involve Social Services and can separate you from your own children. We work alongside family lawyers to manage these parallel proceedings.
Legally, we challenge the age assessment and the nature of the touching. Under *Section 7*, the touching must be sexual. We defend cases where innocent physical contact (caregiving, play) has been misinterpreted as sexual grooming or assault.
False Accusation?
We scrutinise the ABE interview for leading questions. Contact us.
Legal Aid Availability
For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.
Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
