Understand Your Situation
'County Lines' is a police priority. If you are caught in this cross-hairs, you face aggressive prosecution. We provide the sophisticated defence you need.
Defending County Lines Allegations
County Lines involves exporting drugs from cities to coastal or market towns using dedicated mobile phone lines. Police operations (like Operation Orochi) use data analytics to track these phone lines. You may be charged with Conspiracy to Supply simply for holding a phone or being in a car.
We understand the mechanics of these prosecutions. We analyse cell-site data to prove that your movements were not linked to drug supply. Crucially, we recognise that many young or vulnerable people charged in these operations are victims, not criminals.
Victim of Grooming?
Forced to sell drugs? We use the Modern Slavery Act to defend you.
Plan Your Defence
Modern Slavery and Section 45
A significant number of County Lines defendants are victims of trafficking. We are specialists in the *Section 45 Modern Slavery Act 2015* defence. If you were groomed, forced, or exploited into moving drugs, you should not be convicted.
We work with the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) to get you recognised as a victim of slavery. A positive NRM decision can lead to the CPS dropping the case against you entirely before it even reaches trial.
Phone Line Evidence?
We challenge the attribution of 'drug lines' to your personal phone.
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.
