	CRIMINAL DEPARTMENT The firm enjoys an excellent reputation for criminal defence work and also in the area of defending prosecutions of motorists. A Category 1 Contract with The Legal Services Commission enables the firm to offer publicly funded assistance in all Criminal Courts and in any Police Station in England and Wales. Although the firm’s criminal team are generally to be found in local Courts and Police Stations we can provide high quality representation anywhere in England and Wales. In a recent high profile case Chris Thompson defended a young client in a case beginning in Skegness Magistrates’ Court before eventually ending up with a successful hearing in the Court of Appeal via Lincoln Crown Court - so we really can assist you wherever necessary! Paul Smith and Chris Thompson have well over 50 years of advocacy experience between them.  Our in-house advocates are themselves supported by a network of professional agents and various highly regarded Barristers Chambers meaning we can invariably arrange for you to be assisted wherever you may find yourself in need of high quality representation. Paul and Chris regularly assist clients in the Police Station and are supported by no less than four Accredited Police Station Representatives so we can always get someone to you in the Police Station quickly. Angela Phelan, the head of our Family Department, is also an Accredited Police Station Representative and is well qualified to assist when the work of the two departments overlaps which it often does.
