Police Station Representation

If you find yourself at the Police Station, have been arrested or are under Police investigation, we provide a 24 hour, 7 days a week service.

Our experienced duty Solicitors and Police Station accredited representatives are able to provide you with free legal advice at a Police Station.

Our Solicitors will also represent you at council offices, courts, prisons and detention centres.

Driving Offences

Many people only become involved with the Police or Courts in relation to motoring offences. There are many different driving offences which may result in a fine, attract penalty points, disqualification or you may even be sent to prison.

Whatever the driving offence, having to attend the Police Station or Court can be distressing. We have specialist Solicitors and Police Station representatives who are able to help. An idea of costs can be found here.

Legal advice and representation for prisoners

Stephen Rimmer LLP is one of the few law firms in East Sussex authorised by the Legal Aid Agency to carry out Prison Law work. Our crime Solicitors will be able to assist in providing advice both to serving and on remand prisoners. Our experts will help with parole applications, temporary release and licences.

Legal Aid for criminal defence

When arrested or interviewed in relation to a potential criminal offence, you are entitled to free legal representation. You can use the duty solicitor available in the police station at the time or request that our criminal defence solicitors act for you and the cost of our representation will be covered by legal aid.

Legal aid may also cover some or all of your costs if you are prosecuted in a Magistrates’ Court or Crown Court. This will depend on your financial situation and whether access to legal advice for your defence is considered to be in the interests of justice. 

Privately funded criminal defence

We can act for clients who are privately funding their defence, providing a high level of expertise for every stage of criminal proceedings.
