If you have been arrested for a sexual offence, we can help. You can rely on our expert criminal law team to provide robust and comprehensive advice.
These cases involve someone’s testimony as the key piece of evidence, very often without anything to corroborate the account. This does not mean that the case falls apart, you can be convicted on this alone. It is up to your legal team to construct an alternative ‘picture’ of what happened. This can involve finding witnesses, visiting the alleged scene of the crime, examining phone/email data, etc – the possibilities are endless and unique to each case. Although you do not have to ‘prove’ your innocence, the reality is that your case will be much stronger if we can find things to challenge the Prosecution’s narrative. We specialise in doing exactly this.
Sexual offences can include allegations of Rape, Sexual Assault, Sexual communication with a child, Inciting a sexual offence, Illegal pornography, amongst others. A conviction for any of these offences can carry a prison sentence as well as a requirement to be on the ‘Sex Offender Register’.

7 months agoI highly recommend Hannah Adams and the team at Shentons. They were all incredibly kind, patient and really listened to the details of our particular situation. We were seen quickly, which was very important for us due to EHCP Tribunal deadlines. The expertise and depth of information we recieved in meetings and reports was invaluable. It also allowed me to proceed with clarity and confidence, where I had previously felt lost in the vast amount of very subject specific paperwork which had been sent to us. We followed Hannah's advice when looking for other professionals to assess our child and gain the relevant reports. We also followed up on a possible area of need she identified, resulting in a new diagnosis and subsequent support from the NHS. I am incredibly happy to say my child is enjoying his second week at our chosen school, something the LA finally agreed to after nearly a year of fighting but 5+ months before our court date. Our child is now in a setting which will support him for the next 7.5 years.Posted on Google

8 months agoShentons helped me through a really difficult time in my life when I was locked in a legal battle with my old partner about our joint house. I am so grateful for Shentons' excellent counsel, efficiency and human touch. I did get a great outcome in the end which has meant I can be free and financially secure again.Posted on Google

11 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
