Charged by Police, what should I do?

First you need to decide about money, you must need to organize the fund you need to pay a solicitor. First thing any lawyer will check is, if you have fund to cover the legal cost, either by yourself or your family member or by Legal Aid (Click here to Learn about Legal Aid). One thing to remember, usually solicitors will not accept one’s own fund if they can not be sure that the fund was not obtained by any unlawful activity. 

Case study

An individual was charged for fraudulent conduct. Her employer complained to police that she has been taking money from company account without employer’s consent. She never had any criminal record in her 55 years life. She plead guilty and one the main reason was that she did not have enough fund available to take the case to higher trial to defend it.

About AJ Faisal

I understand people who find themselves facing criminal charges. Most of them are just good people caught in tough situations or have had a disadvantaged life, and I see it as my job to stand by them and make sure their side of the story is told. That’s why I chose to be defence lawyer — not on the other side. Most importantly, just because you did something doesn’t necessarily mean you’re guilty or that what you did was unlawful.

 

Every case is different, and I believe every person deserves to be heard. I like to dig deep, look at things from all angles, and find details that others often miss. I’m creative and open-minded — because sometimes, thinking outside the box can make all the difference. I’ve been passionate about criminal defence since 2019.

 

Since then, I’ve worked on thousands of cases — each one teaching me something new about people, fairness, and second chances. What drives me most is helping clients move forward with confidence and peace of mind. Just give me a call, and you’ll find out that I’m not an ordinary lawyer.
