Contact a Criminal Case Solicitor Through WhatsApp

Yes. Our criminal defence solicitors monitor WhatsApp 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether it's 3 in the morning, a bank holiday, or a Sunday evening, a qualified solicitor will see your message and respond. Criminal charges do not follow office hours, and neither does our service. When you contact a criminal solicitor through WhatsApp, you get access to immediate legal advice whenever you need it.

Your initial consultation with a criminal solicitor is completely free, whether you contact us through WhatsApp, by phone, or using our online form. During this first conversation, the solicitor will listen to your situation, explain your legal position, and outline the options available to you. There is no obligation to instruct us afterwards. If you do decide to proceed, we will discuss fees transparently — and legal aid may be available depending on your circumstances.

Absolutely. Any communication between you and a criminal solicitor — whether on WhatsApp, by phone, or in person — is protected by legal professional privilege. This means the prosecution cannot use your messages against you, and the solicitor cannot be compelled to disclose what you discussed. WhatsApp itself uses end-to-end encryption, adding an additional layer of security. You can speak freely and honestly about your situation without fear.

You do not need to provide a detailed account — just enough for the solicitor to understand your situation. Helpful information includes: the type of allegation or charge you are facing, whether you have been arrested or are due to attend court, and your current location if you are at a police station. If you have received any paperwork, you can share photos of it through WhatsApp. Even if you only send a brief message saying you need help, a criminal solicitor will respond and guide you from there.

Yes, absolutely. If you message us from a police station, a criminal solicitor can attend in person to represent you during your interview — free of charge under the police station advice scheme. We cover police stations across England and Wales. Simply tell us which station you are at in your WhatsApp message, and we will arrange for a solicitor to attend as quickly as possible. You have the right to free legal advice at the police station — do not answer questions without a solicitor present.

Our criminal defence solicitors handle the full spectrum of criminal matters — from minor offences dealt with at the Magistrates Court through to the most serious cases tried at the Crown Court. This includes violence and assaults, sexual offences, drugs offences, theft and burglary, fraud and financial crime, driving offences, weapons offences, public order offences, domestic abuse allegations, cyber crime, terrorism cases, and more. Whatever the charge, you can contact a criminal solicitor through WhatsApp for expert advice.

Yes. If a family member, partner, or friend has been arrested or is facing criminal charges, you can contact a criminal solicitor through WhatsApp on their behalf. We regularly receive messages from concerned relatives who want to arrange legal representation for a loved one. Provide as much information as you can — the person's name, where they are being held, and what you know about the allegation — and a solicitor will take immediate action.

In most cases, a criminal solicitor will respond to your WhatsApp message within 15 minutes — often much sooner. Our team monitors messages constantly, including overnight and on weekends. For urgent situations such as being at a police station or facing imminent court proceedings, we prioritise immediate responses. If you need to speak to a solicitor right now, you can also call our emergency number alongside sending a WhatsApp message for the fastest possible response.
