We’re here to help you challenge unfair DBS entries with expert guidance, strong representation, and supportive evidence to protect your future.
Meet the Crime legal team
The Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) are in charge of revealing information about you when you apply for jobs or other positions. Sometimes they reveal very old information or incomplete information with a view to ‘Minded to Bar’ individuals from certain regulated activity whether that is paid or voluntarily. We can assist you in challenging the process and put forward relevant evidence, which can be a variety of information such as character references, medical information, evidence of rehabilitation etc. We collate this information with you and draft robust representations on your behalf in order to appeal the initial decision from the DBS.
If necessary, we can challenge their decision with the Upper Tribunal Court, which can result in a hearing if an appeal in writing isn’t sufficient.

a month agoShentons have provided my son with brilliant support throughout a court case. From very first contact, we have had an amazing and highly professional defence. Call backs have always happened when scheduled, the lawyers have been clear, realistic and honest about outcomes. In court support has been reassuring and we felt that the very best defence was prepared and delivered. The barrister appointed was also outstanding and did a wonderful job on both court appearances. My son, the defendent, has learning disabilities/ autism. This was taken into consideration ideation throughout and he was treated with kindness and empathy. We are so grateful for the care and support that we have received. I cannot recommend Shentons more highly.Posted on Google

a month agoI can't recommend this solicitor highly enough. From start to finish, they were extremely professional, always available to answer my questions, and provided me with much-needed peace of mind during a stressful time. Chloe, was fantastic — she was incredibly reassuring, took the time to understand exactly what I was going through, and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. I truly trusted her to handle everything, and she exceeded my expectations. If you need reliable and empathetic legal support, look no further!Posted on Google

5 months agoI was referred to Shentons by a friend and have used Patrick Hunter in my dealings with my house, wills and POA. Patrick's service to me was unquestionable. He was professional, knowledgeable, conscientious and very kind. He kept me up to date every step of the way with my business. Nothing was to much trouble for him at all. I would not hesitate to use Patrick and the firm if I had any problems and I would definitely recommend him and the firm to my friends and family.Posted on Google
