Ask for a solicitor before answering questions.
Being arrested or asked to attend a police interview can be frightening and confusing. You do not have to deal with it alone. Drummond Solicitors can arrange police-station representation and explain what is happening before you are interviewed.
We have a team of criminal defence representatives across the country. Where circumstances allow, we can generally arrange for a representative to attend a police station within around 45 minutes. Attendance times depend on location, custody procedures and representative availability, but we treat urgent calls as a priority.
What our police station representatives do
- Speak with you privately before interview
- Obtain information from the police about the allegation
- Advise you about the interview and the options available
- Attend the interview and protect your legal position
- Advise on bail, release conditions and the next steps
- Arrange continuing representation if the case proceeds
Arrested or asked to attend voluntarily?
Whether you are under arrest, on bail, released under investigation or invited to a voluntary interview, it is sensible to obtain legal advice before giving a detailed account. A voluntary interview is still an interview under caution and can have serious consequences.
What to tell us when you call
If you can, tell us the name of the police station, your custody reference or interview time, the allegation you have been given and whether you are under arrest or attending voluntarily. Do not worry if you do not know every detail — call us and we will guide you through the immediate next step.
Nationwide police station coverage
Our network allows us to support clients at police stations across England and Wales. For serious, complex or ongoing matters, Ghafar Khan and Arshad Mahmood can provide direct oversight and continued representation through bail, charge and court proceedings.
