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.

I cannot speak highly enough of Chloe jay of whom was my legal representation during what was the most serious and stressful period of my life. From the very beginning, Chloe demonstrated exceptional professionalism, intelligence, and dedication to my case. Chloe had an outstanding understanding of the law and an ability to explain complex issues clearly and honestly, which gave me confidence at every stage of the proceedings. In court, Chloe's advocacy was calm, authoritative, and compelling. Chloe was meticulous in her preparation, strategic in her approach, and fearless when it mattered most. What truly impressed me about Chloe was her commitment to justice and to me as a client. Chloe treated my case with the seriousness it deserved, listened carefully, and fought relentlessly on my behalf. I always felt supported, respected, and in safe hands. Chloe worked in my case beyond my expectations and into the early hours of the morning sometimes to ensure that I as her Client had the greatest chance success each day of trial. I am deeply grateful to Chloe and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone facing a serious legal matter. If you need a barrister who is highly skilled, principled, and unwavering in their commitment to their client, I cannot recommend them strongly enough. Thank you Chloe and to all at Shentons who assisted in my case.

Shentons 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.

I 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!
