PRACTICE AREAS

Welcome to Hudson Marshall Solicitors. We are a dedicated firm committed to delivering high-quality criminal defence services to our clients, covering a wide range of offences, such as:

DRINKING AND DRIVING OFFENCES

Committing offences related to drinking and driving is a grave matter. If found guilty, you will be compelled to refrain from driving for a minimum of 12 months. In the gravest situations, imprisonment could also be a consequence. Seeking the assistance of a solicitor is crucial to navigate the legal process and protect your rights. Our role is to guide you, clarify the charges you are facing, and pinpoint any potential defences you may have.

DOMESTIC ASSAULT

If a family member or romantic partner accuses you of causing them physical or emotional harm, it may be classified as domestic assault. This form of violence can affect anyone, irrespective of age, gender, or background. If you find yourself accused of domestic assault, it’s vital to seek legal assistance to ensure you have the necessary defence.

SEXUAL OFFENCES

Sexual offences cover a range of crimes, including non-consensual acts like rape and sexual assault, as well as crimes against children such as child sexual abuse and grooming. Furthermore, these offences also include acts that exploit individuals for sexual purposes, whether carried out in person or online.

DRUGS OFFENCES

Facing a drug-related charge can vary from mere possession to possession with the intention to distribute. If you’re accused of a drug offence, it’s crucial to reach out to an attorney promptly. They can assist you in comprehending the allegations and safeguarding your rights.

FIREARMS AND WEAPONS OFFENCES

Seeking assistance with a firearm or weapons-related crime requires the expertise of a seasoned solicitor. Offences involving firearms and weapons carry substantial penalties, potentially leading to significant time behind bars. A Uxbridge-based criminal defence solicitor possesses the knowledge to present your defence effectively, ensuring it is presented in the most compelling manner.

MURDER/MANSLAUGHTER

Distinguishing Murder from Manslaughter: Unraveling the Contrast – While murder and manslaughter fall under the umbrella of homicide, they diverge significantly. Intent and responsibility are pivotal factors in defining the charges. Two crucial queries emerge: 1. Was there a deliberate intent to cause death? 2. Can the accused be held responsible for their actions? If the answer to either question is ‘no,’ the offence might be categorized as manslaughter, not murder. It is crucial to consult with a seasoned attorney if you or a loved one faces such accusations.

ROBBERY

Committing robbery involves stealing while using force on someone or causing fear of force at the time of the theft. To safeguard your defence effectively, having a skilled and proactive solicitor by your side is crucial.

CRIMINAL ORGANISATION/GANG OFFENCES

Organized crime is a collaboration of individuals working together to carry out unlawful activities. These associations frequently include illegal practices such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, money laundering, and extortion. Additionally, some criminal groups are involved in severe acts of violence. A legal professional can assist you in navigating the intricate legal system and advocating for your rights.

OFFENCES AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE

Violating the administration of justice takes various shapes, such as perjury, obstruction of justice, and witness interference. If you’re facing accusations of these offences, a Solicitor can provide assistance and support.

FRAUDS AND WHITE COLLAR CRIMES

Fraud and white-collar crimes are unlawful actions characterized by dishonesty, often involving misrepresentation or concealment to achieve economic benefits. Handling such cases can be intricate, necessitating the assistance of a skilled criminal defence lawyer to contest the charges vigorously. A legal professional in criminal defence ensures a balanced and fair legal representation against the government’s prosecution.

YOUTH COURT CASES

When a young individual is charged with a legal offence, they might find themselves in a youth court. This is a specific court designed for cases concerning individuals under 18 years old. If you’re accused in youth court, having a solicitor experienced in youth court procedures is crucial to representing you effectively.

BAIL APPLICATIONS

When an individual is accused of a crime, the immediate prospect of being remanded into custody looms large. At the first court hearing, the prosecution is poised to oppose any bail request vehemently. Should bail be denied during this crucial moment, the journey leads straight to prison. In this challenging scenario, your advocate plays a pivotal role, tasked with weaving a persuasive and compelling argument in your favour to sway the court toward granting bail.

RECENT SUCCESSES

SEXUAL ASSAULT

A young PhD student was acquitted of rape.

In a high-profile case that captured national and international attention, a young PhD student has been cleared of rape charges. The spotlight was on this controversial trial as the prosecution hinged its case on an apparent admission conveyed through an apologetic message to the complainant. Leveraging the insights of a seasoned psychiatrist specializing in Adult Autistic Spectrum Disorder, our legal team skillfully illuminated the diverse communication challenges faced by our client. This strategic move effectively undermined a critical aspect of the prosecution's case.

ARMED ROBBERY

The accused was acquitted of all charges.

A client was accused of being involved in a series of armed robberies that took place in several mobile phone stores throughout the country. The prosecution claimed that they found our client's DNA at one of the crime scenes. To defend our client, we hired DNA experts to contest the evidence presented by the prosecution. Our efforts proved successful, and the key prosecution evidence was excluded from the trial. This played a vital role in helping our client to be acquitted of all charges.

COMPUTER HACKING

The charges were dismissed, pre-trial.

A person who was employed at a company was accused of committing a computer hacking offence during his tenure. However, he only approached us for assistance after he had already been charged with the offence. The offence's seriousness and the complexity of the evidence resulted in the case being directed for trial at the Crown Court. Despite multiple written representations made to the Crown Prosecution Service, it was eventually determined that there was insufficient evidence to convict the accused, and the charges were dismissed before the trial.

OPPOSING AN INTERIM INJUNCTION

Resolved to the satisfaction of our client

We recently represented a retail company in a legal matter where the opposing party sought an interim injunction to enforce certain lease rights. Our team conducted a thorough investigation and presented strong arguments, which were accepted by the High Court Judge. This helped to quickly resolve the matter in favour of our client, with minimal inconvenience.

PROPERTY DISPUTE

Reduced the claim against our client by 75%

We supported a client in a complex property dispute that involved multiple legal concerns such as easements, nuisance, and trespass. Our team worked closely with the client and submitted expert opinions, resulting in a significant reduction of the claim by 75%.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Our client was able to remain fully involved in his children’s lives

We were able to assist our client, who was facing domestic violence criminal charges, in gaining access to his children by communicating directly with his estranged wife. As a part of his bail conditions, we included a provision that allowed our family law department to have direct communication with his partner, thus facilitating access to the children. Our involvement ensured that our client remained active in his children's lives throughout the ongoing legal proceedings.
