Frequently asked questions about Bethnal Green Police Station
What happens in an interview at a police station?
A voluntary police interview or interview under caution at Bethnal Green Police Station is a formal interview where you will be questioned about the allegations that you are suspected of. Everything that you say will be recorded and can be used as evidence against you further down the line.
If you have been requested to attend a voluntary interview at Bethnal Green Police Station, our expert solicitors can review your case beforehand and advise you on how to answer questions during the interview.
Our experienced legal representatives will guide you through this process, ensuring your rights are protected and providing the best strategy for your case.
Why would you need a solicitor at Bethnal Green Police Station?
If you have been invited for a voluntary interview or released on bail, it is vitally important to instruct a specialist solicitor.
Having the legal guidance of an expert solicitor from the start of your case can make a significant difference to the outcome.
If you are due for a Bethnal Green Police Station interview, we will review your case and advise you on the best way to respond to police questions. If it is in your interest to respond with a pre-prepared statement, we can provide this for you.
If, upon reviewing your case, we believe it is weak or not in the public interest to prosecute, then we will pursue a full acquittal.
Where it is not possible to get the charges dropped, we have a strong track record of mitigating penalties for our clients including through police caution or community resolution.
How much do lawyers charge for police station representation?
We can act for you under Legal Aid or on a full private basis at Bethnal Green Police Station.
Legal Aid is available to cover police station representation, ensuring that everyone has access to expert legal advice, regardless of their financial circumstances.
In some instances, Legal Aid may also extend to partially or fully funding your defence if you are subsequently prosecuted.
For private representation, we provide fixed fees starting at £500 and ranging up to £1,000 plus VAT, depending on the complexity and work required for your case.
Whether you opt for private representation or wish to apply for Legal Aid, our dedicated team is here to provide clear, professional guidance.
Am I entitled to legal representation in a police interview?
Yes, you are entitled to legal representation for a police interview. The duty solicitor is a free, non-means-tested scheme that enables detained persons who do not have a solicitor to access legal advice from a solicitor on an approved panel.
However, many people prefer to arrange their own solicitor in advance through Legal Aid for free or on a private basis through our firm.
Legal Aid is means and merit-tested but if you are eligible, you can receive legal advice for free.
Alternatively, we offer an exceptional private fee service to guarantee the best possible outcome for your case.

How can we help?
Common questions
We always work with the most experienced and best leading UK barristers, KCs (Kings Counsel). We cover all criminal cases 24/7 at the police station and court. Offices in London, Birmingham, and Manchester cover cases across England and Wales. We can offer Legal Aid and affordable Private fee agreements. We can see you the same day, including virtually. Our Senior Partners supervise all of our cases.
How quickly do you respond?
We respond quickly even during out of hours. We do not get our work by paying for online adverts but based on the fact that few criminal law firms can match our 45 years of experience. Most of our cases are still from word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied clients. We are called daily by dissatisfied clients from firms with less experience than us. We respond very quickly to new enquiries. We know what clients seek and so we update clients rapidly.
Can you get cases dropped?
Yes, read about the recent cases we've helped our clients with here.
We always keep you updated and give straightforward advice. We will get cases dropped early where the case is weak or should not be prosecuted. We will be upfront with you about where you can benefit from a good result with an early guilty plea, such as a discount on your sentence. As we work on cases across all levels with clients from all walks of life, we are excellent at giving clear, spot-on advice. As an established firm, we can allocate a whole team to your case often at short notice to secure evidence to minimise the damage to you.

Do you offer free consultations?
Where it is possible, we aim to provide an initial consultation to you. If we can speak to you, we can if required inform you about –
- Whether we can take the case on and our relevant experience.
- Public and private funding benefits.
- Assistance in applying for legal aid where we are likely to accept instructions.
- An outline of options in police interview only. We will not advise you on which option to adopt.
- Providing our free written guide explaining the police station process.
- The gravity of routine and day-to-day offences you face.
- Consequences of not attending the court or police station.
- Consequences of interfering with any witnesses.
- Retaining any evidence in support of your case.
- If possible an outline of the elements of the offence that the police or CPS must prove.
- This consultation will normally be by telephone or email and will only be for as long as we deem necessary to establish if we can act for you. If we cannot usefully give you any advice in this manner then we will not continue with the consultation. We will not discuss the case in depth for you to be able to decide on your plea or any significant aspect of the case, as this cannot be undertaken informally.
- Referring you, if possible, to other firms for matters out of our specialism or if we cannot help.
Consultations do not apply to the following cases –
- If we do not intend to take the case on.
- Road Traffic cases, drink driving, drug driving, driving bans, speeding, no insurance, mobile phone use, points etc.
- In all cases where we do not have the capacity to take your case or the availability of suitably qualified staff to provide an initial free consultation. This is applicable in all cases but especially where a more senior lawyer is required because of your personal needs or the complexity of the case.
- Harassment/stalking/ coercive behaviour/malicious communications or road traffic cases and most sensitive cases. These cases are often too complicated to assess in short consultations.
- The locations concerned may be too distant to represent you adequately or it may not be cost-effective for you or us.
- The case is too complicated to assess or raises various charges or facts, complexity, or history to be considered informally or in a short consultation.
- In most Legal aid transfers where legal aid is granted to another firm except in very grave cases, we may assess the case and merits for a transfer.
- If your relationship has broken down with your existing solicitor or several solicitors.
- If you have been released under investigation and have already had a police station attendance.
- If you hold legal aid with another firm and seek a second opinion.
- If you are calling on behalf of the client as a friend or family member unless you have full authority and full facts.
- To businesses.
- Advising whether you were given good advice by your other solicitor.
- Whether to decide to plead guilty or not guilty.
- Whether you have an arguable defence in law or factually complicated defences.
- Any advice you have had after your first court appearance.
- Any advice on appeal on conviction or sentence.
