Crown Court

Nikolich & Carter Solicitors professionally represent you at any Crown Court appearance. Steve Nikolich, who has a reputation for his total commitment to his clients’ cases and close work with barristers, heads our Crown Court department.

If you have been accused of committing a serious crime and are due to appear before the Crown Court, you should take specialist advice and representation. Our criminal defence team can give you just that. We have dealt with all types of offences ranging from murder and serious assaults to sexual offences, theft and fraud.

Our Crown Court solicitors will advise you on the details and consequences of the offence with which you have been charged, as well as any available defences. Our criminal defence lawyers will explain the court procedure and we will take time to provide you with detailed instructions on how to present yourself during the trial. We understand how unpleasant and nerve wracking appearing in the Crown Court can be, which is why your Nikolich & Carter lawyer will be there, at your side and taking the time to explain everything to you.

It is not unusual for Crown Court matters to run for a number of months, sometimes even years, and our dedicated team will work tirelessly throughout to ensure that your case is prepared to the highest standard so that the best possible result is achieved. Nikolich and Carter are members of the legal aid Very High Cost Cases (VHCC) panel, so that you may be entitled claim for payment for our services for even the most serious of cases.

Nikolich & Carter’s solicitors will keep you updated and informed throughout the legal proceedings and we will advise you on whether to plead guilty or not guilty. If you are convicted, we will see your case through to the end and we will discuss the possibility of going to the Court of Appeal if your sentence is excessive. We are experts in post trial matters such as confiscation orders which deal with what happens to your assets if you do get convicted. We will continue to support you should any of this happen to you.
