Being told to attend a police interview can feel daunting. Whether you’ve been arrested or invited to attend voluntarily, it’s completely normal to feel unsure about what will happen next.
At The Johnson Partnership we aim to ensure that as few of our clients as possible actually have to go to court. It is easy to advise somebody at the police station, have them bailed to return 2 or 3 months later and then let everything go to sleep.
Few things that it is impossible to imagine can be worse than being locked up in a foreign country when no-one speaks your language, whether it be the court, the police, the prosecution, the fellow prisoners and even your own lawyer.
"Is your client fit to plead?" is a question often bounded about between advocates at court. Many people latch on to the phase fit to plead in the hope that it may be a quick exit strategy from a potentially difficult trial.
Never in the history of english law has one area of work donned so many different costumes. Offences of dishonestly involving the obtaining of money or services by dishonest means, often deception or misrepresentation find themselves dressed up with all sorts of pseudonyms.
