Understand Your Situation
When crowds turn violent, innocent bystanders can be arrested. We distinguish your actions from the mob's.
Defending Violent Disorder
Violent disorder (Section 2) requires 3 or more people using or threatening unlawful violence. It is often used in football hooliganism or protest cases. It is one step down from Riot.
We challenge identification. In a chaotic crowd, police often arrest anyone nearby. We use video analysis to track your individual movements, proving you were not part of the violent group. We also defend against 'common purpose'—just because you were there doesn't mean you shared the intent of the violent minority.
Caught in a Crowd?
Wrong place, wrong time? We prove you weren't involved.
Plan Your Defence
Football Banning Orders
These charges often come with applications for Football Banning Orders.
We contest these orders. If we can prove you were not a ringleader or violent participant, we argue that a ban is disproportionate. We protect your freedom to travel and attend matches.
Football Related?
We fight banning orders alongside the criminal charge. Call 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.
