Police Station Advice

Hine Solicitors offers police station advice and representation across England, from your first interview through to charge, bail or release.

If the police arrest you, issue a summons, charge you or advise you that you are a suspect, you should get legal representation without delay.

You should always wait for your solicitor to arrive before answering any questions. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week on 07870 658110, so you can reach us whenever you need us.

With one of our solicitors at your side, you will get advice on the options you have with the questions you are being asked. You need to know your rights and how long you can be kept in the police station without charge. If you find yourself in this situation, just ask for us and we will be there to advise you.

The police caution

If the police advise you that “You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence”, this means that you are suspected of committing an offence. We can offer you legal representation to protect your rights.

The outcome of a police interview

After an interview the police will make a decision whether to charge you with an offence, release you without charge or release you on bail for further investigation. Bail conditions may be imposed and a solicitor can negotiate bail on your behalf.

Call us now

Do not wait. Call our criminal law team on 07870 658110 at any time of day or night and we will come to you. Find your nearest Hine Solicitors office for other enquiries.

Thank you so much for representing me yesterday at Banbury Police Station. I really appreciated it. You asked if I could let you know the result of that encounter. I was “released without charge” at about 4 am. The experience was truly devastating to me, but you were so supportive. I cannot thank you enough.

— Mr B

David, I remain grateful for all your time, effort and experience you brought to my case. It is always a bit of a risk with a new solicitor whether they are going to do the minimum or pull out all the stops as you certainly did. Particularly in how you handled things on court day – very well done.

Many thanks and our very best wishes to you.

Thank you so much for your help, advice, patience and professionalism with my recent case at Worcester. You have been absolutely brilliant

— Ms T

Just wanted to say thank you very much for all the work you and your wonderful associates have done for me over the last 20 years I’ve been in your capable hands
