Lawtons Solicitors

Lawtons Solicitors, established in 2004, is one of the largest specialist criminal solicitors in England and Wales. They continue to uphold their commitment to providing top quality legal advice to clients facing criminal accusations. They deal with a huge number of non-local and regional-based enquiries, and have a growing private client department that specifically handles and represents those individuals who demand a specific level of service or attention to detail. They handle the full range of criminal cases, with a particular specialism in privately funded sexual offence cases and engage leading Barristers & KC's to represent individuals, ensuring clients have access to the best possible advocate for their situation.

Lawtons Solicitors maintains a reputation as a provider of highly intelligent and tactically astute criminal defence-related work, whereby clients are in safe hands with the expert level of attention that the team's experience allows it to deliver time and time again. As a result, they have been able to expand their geographic coverage and regularly receive referrals from other top leading national and regional law firms which don't specialise in criminal defence work.

With a strong emphasis on serious crime cases like sexual offences, murder, drug cases (including ongoing EncroChat cases), fraud, firearms, and road traffic incidents, Lawtons boast a seasoned team of lawyers. Their private client team, each with over 20 years of experience, ensures clients receive tailored legal support for their specific needs. They recognise that a certain level of service is expected by the client base they are increasingly asked to represent and ensure that the Partners are available to provide that level of service.
