About Our Criminal Law Services

Our Criminal Law department is led by William Morrison, a former front line police officer of a supervisory rank, with commendations from the Chief Constable. His career on both sides of the criminal justice system gives our clients a defence built on real-world insight into how the police investigate, collect evidence, and build cases.

We are a privately funded practice and do not undertake legal aid work. Every case receives William's direct, personal attention from the first meeting through to resolution. We can arrange representation at police stations across the United Kingdom and work closely with some of the finest criminal defence barristers in England and Wales to ensure our clients receive the strongest possible defence at every level of court.

How We Work

Your first step is a meeting with William Morrison, who will give you an honest and frank assessment of your case. There are no false promises — you will receive a clear, realistic appraisal of the evidence, what to expect as your case progresses through the criminal justice system, and what outcomes we would aim to achieve on your behalf.

William's background as a former front line police officer of a supervisory rank means he brings a unique perspective to every case. He understands how investigations are conducted, how evidence is gathered and handled, and what the prosecution needs to prove. This insight allows him to identify weaknesses in the case against you that others might miss, and to anticipate the strategies the prosecution is likely to pursue.

From that initial meeting, we will agree a clear strategy for your defence. Whether your case requires representation at a police station interview, preparation for a magistrates' court hearing, or a full Crown Court trial with specialist counsel, we manage every detail. We keep you informed at every stage, in plain English, so you always know exactly where you stand.
