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.

Have you won any awards?

OUR PROFESSIONAL BODY THE LAW SOCIETY AWARDED US IN OCTOBER 2020 WITH THE EXCELLENCE IN CLIENT SERVICE AWARD AND STATED -

"JD Spicer Zeb demonstrated a clear commitment to client service through their work with vulnerable and diverse individuals in what can be severely traumatic circumstances".

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.
If we feel we are unable to communicate with you.
If we are likely to be conflicted or breach our professional rules.

Accusations of drug dealing or conspiracy to supply drugs are very serious and carry onerous punishments. That is why it is critical that you contact us, as soon as possible, to ensure you have quality legal representation right at the outset. Whatever your situation, instructing our specialist defence solicitors quickly is vital considering the very short time period before legal representation is required in Court.

Our expert drug offence lawyers are ready to help defend you and protect your rights and interests, when you need them most.

Are you looking for solicitors specialising in drug offences?

Drug offences are taken very seriously by the police and courts and having a conviction even for simple possession can affect your travel and future job prospects. In some cases, you can also be looking at a substantial prison sentence. If the evidence is strong, we will tell you face to face and in writing so that you can secure what is known as early discount credit for an early guilty plea. Sometimes acting on early advice is what keeps you out of prison. We get suspended prison sentences in real drug cases giving you a second chance with your life and family.

For these reasons, you need committed and experienced drug offence solicitors on your side to advise and represent you, acting with all the necessary skill, speed and expertise to assist you with a robust defence. You need a top solicitor who does this work daily and knows how to work with clients who are unfortunate enough to get caught up in this world.

What are the different types of drug offences?

There are a wide range of drug offences that you could potentially be charged for in the UK. These offences vary in their level of seriousness, and, in some cases, it is possible for multiple charges to be brought forward.

Common examples of drug offences include:

Possession
Possession with intent to supply
Conspiracy to supply
Production and cultivation
Importation and exportation

What is the punishment for different drug offences in the UK?

The exact punishment you could receive if you are found guilty of a drug offence will often depend on factors such as the quantity and class of drugs, as well as the surrounding circumstances of your case.

Generally, you could face a more severe punishment for drug offences for more ‘harmful’ classes of drugs. Offences involving Class A drugs are treated more seriously than offences involving Class C drugs, for example.
