Criminal Defence for Foreign Nationals

If you have been accused of any form of criminal offence as a foreign national, it is essential that you have expert legal advice and representation.

At JD Spicer Zeb, we understand how stressful and upsetting it can be to find yourself under investigation for a crime, particularly when you are not a UK citizen. If you are a foreign national, such as a Chinese national or American national, you will still be entitled to support from our expert criminal defence solicitors.

Using our detailed knowledge of criminal law, our team have a strong record of helping clients avoid charges, secure early acquittals and win not guilty verdicts in court, as well as achieve reduced penalties if a conviction is unavoidable.
