    Why choose Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors?

    When facing allegations of rape, you need a lawyer you can count on. Investigations can go on and on – even if they result in no charge – and you’ll need a lawyer you can talk to in confidence and about intimate matters, who you can build up a relationship with. We understand that you will have a lot of questions to ask and your lawyer at Hodge Jones and Allen will be there to answer them, from a depth of experience and great knowledge of sexual offence law.

    Leaning on more than 40 years of experience, you can rely on us to:  

    • Help you in your police interview and make sure you get your version across
    • Examine the case in detail and look for inconsistencies in what prosecution witnesses say
    • Challenge the prosecution forensic evidence, and get our own experts involved in the case where this is necessary
    • Think strategically and choose just the right advocate for your case
    • Help you prepare yourself so, if you give evidence, you’ll be confident and sure that you’re presenting yourself properly

    Rape cases are won and lost on defence evidence and we know the importance of gathering this as early and as comprehensively as possible. We’re sometimes called in to act on appeal for people convicted of sexual offences where their lawyer hasn’t done this. We’ve learned from the mistakes of others and won’t be making them on your case.

    Our top-ranking team have years of experience representing the innocent. We stand up to the prosecution who will always be represented by an experienced solicitor or barrister. We know how to fight and win cases.
