At Shentons, we specialize in defending allegations relating to Modern Slavery. Our experienced team works closely with our clients, they families and experts to ensure that the court understands their circumstances and prevents unjust criminalization.
Meet the Crime legal team
At Shentons, we have extensive experience in defending allegations relating to Modern Slavery. In these cases, we are often instructed by a young person’s parents or carer. The young person has been charged with a serious crime and the parent or carer knows that something does not add up.
We work with the young person and Modern Slavery experts to ascertain whether they are being exploited. Often the young person will deny this is happening to them because they have been groomed or they are in fear. Modern Slavery can be used as a defence in a variety of crimes, including but not limited to; Possession with intent to supply drugs, Conspiracy to supply drugs and Possession of an offensive weapon.
If they are being exploited it is vital that the Court hears about this, so they are not criminalised unjustly.

in the last weekI 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.Posted on Google

2 months 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
