In the Magistrates’ Court, many offences are categorised as summary-only or either-way. Summary-only offences, such as minor assaults or most road traffic offences, can only be heard in the Magistrates’ Court. Either-way offences, like theft or some drug charges, can be dealt with in the Magistrates’ Court or sent to the Crown Court, depending on their seriousness and the defendant’s preference. Our Magistrates’ Court solicitors can provide clear guidance on the classification of your specific charge and advise on the best course of action.

Our Magistrates’ Court appeal solicitors have extensive experience in assisting clients who wish to challenge decisions in the higher courts, typically the Crown Court. We can assess the merits of your case, identify strong grounds for appeal, and provide robust representation to ensure your appeal is heard effectively.
