Why Switalskis?

Whatever legal situation you find yourself in, you need criminal defence solicitors you can rely on. Our solicitors in Leeds have a thorough knowledge and understanding of all aspects of criminal law, alongside their own areas of special expertise. As such, we can rely on their combined experience to offer the right services to mount a defence for you. Switalskis expert legal services are underpinned by the following core principles that govern everything we do:

Clarity in complexity

Our services are founded on communication. Court proceedings and other legal matters can be full of confusing language and jargon. At Switalskis, we break everything down into the simplest terms, so you'll always know where your case is up to and what you need to do to keep it moving forwards. We'll tell you everything you need to know, from guiding you on whether you're eligible to apply for Legal Aid funding, to our perspectives on the likely outcomes of any legal decisions you're asked to make. You'll always know where you stand and feel empowered to make decisions about your case.

Empathy at every step

Switalskis offers more than just excellent legal representation and support. We're empathetic to your emotional needs, too. We're trained to listen to your story without judgement and to provide the best help that we can. People in criminal defence situations often need advice from support groups or organisations with relevant knowledge. If that's you, we can connect you to resources that will offer the assistance you need.

Expertise you can trust

Your Switalskis criminal defence solicitor will be an expert in the law. We have a strong track record of success and the resources of a network of law firms, all of which means that we can provide the best possible defence for you. We'll apply our knowledge to the specifics of your situation and fight for the most positive outcome available.

Championing your rights

Everyone has the right to a legal defence, no matter the crime they're accused of committing. This means you're entitled to be represented by a criminal solicitor, and have an opportunity to give your version of events or to present evidence in your defence. At Switalskis, our solicitors in Leeds will start by listening to your story and understanding what you want to achieve. From there, we can support you to achieve the best possible result, and we'll be committed to your interests throughout the case. We'll always make sure your rights are protected and upheld at all times.
