Criminal Defence

Being arrested by the police and appearing before the courts can be a very daunting and enlightening experience – and it can happen to any of us.

Gerard Maye is an expert criminal defence lawyer who will advise you on your case and our advocates will represent you if you appear before the magistrates’ court or the Crown Court. If necessary, we will instruct a barrister, including senior counsel or KC, to assist on your case also.

The advice given at the very first stage, often in the police station, can often make a difference to the outcome of a case and so it is essential to seek expert advice immediately.

Gerard Maye, an expert criminal defence solicitor, understands that your personal and professional reputation may be at risk due to false allegations, and we combine professional advice with sensitivity and understanding.

I have used Gerard Maye Legal on a number of occasions over the past 10 years and cannot thank them enough for the impeccable professional service that they provide every time. Without the support of Gerard Maye and his fantastic team, my family and I would have struggled to cope with what has been an immensely stressful time and emotional time.
