Led by Ian Kelcey, the immediate past Chairman of the National Law Society’s Criminal Law Committee, the Kelcey & Hall crime team boasts a dedicated team of specialists in all areas of criminal law. Offering representation and assistance at the police station, and the conduct of your matter through the Magistrate’s Court, Crown Court and if necessary, the Court of Appeal, we are committed to protecting our clients best interests whilst delivering quality and expert advice and representation.

Benefitting from the priviliged profile of leaders in our field, we attribute our success to our multifaceted approach in preparing your case. Recognising that two heads are better than one, we work as a team. Together with experts, witnesses, barristers and solicitor advocates, we combine a ruthless yet meticulous attention to detail, with a thorough knowledge of the law. Your defence will be presented in a vigorous yet skilled manner and all representations are submitted persuasively.

We undertake work in all areas of crime from speeding offences through to serious offences. We regularly represent in high profile murder, violent and sexual crimes as well as complex drug and fraud conspiracies. As recognised leaders in defending allegations of fraud, we have a specialist team dedicated to serious fraud and regulatory prosecutions as well as motoring offence prosecutions and youth court matters.

Many of our solicitors are specially trained in advocacy and are eligible to provide advocacy representation in all of the Criminal Courts. This ensures a thorough and first hand understanding of the merits of your case whilst also providing the reassurance of continuity. Where required, we will also instruct junior or leading Counsel from one of the many leading sets of Chambers across the country with whom we maintain strong links.
