Criminal Defence
The Johnson Partnership was founded and has built our reputation and success on criminal defence work. We are known as a firm who will strongly defend the interests of our clients, whatever the nature of the allegations.
The Johnson Partnership is one of the largest criminal law firms in England and Wales. We've achieved that status by being the best. We provide 24 hour emergency cover to handle arrests and interviews, and our team can take you through every part of the criminal justice process.
Most cases begin with an arrest or interview by the police. If you are going to be interviewed you should always have a solicitor with you. It is free so you won't have to pay anything, and with our specialist team of police station advisors we can make sure you receive the best advice, whatever time of day or night.
If the police believe that you have committed a crime then you may be charged and have to attend court. We have a dedicated team of solicitors who can represent you in court and advise you about the best course of action.
Our advice is always personalised to you, to what is best in your individual situation.
We will make sure that we explain everything clearly and help you to make the right decisions about how your case should go forward.
Although the majority of cases are dealt with in the Magistrates Court some cases go to the Crown Court. We will help you decide whether that is right for your case, and if it does then we have a specialist team of Crown Court advocates and caseworkers who will conduct your case for you.
We always work as a team with you. We will explain all the options that you have and how your case may go forward. Our goal in every case is to get the best possible outcome for you.

Getting the right advice at the police station can make a massive difference to what happens afterwards. It can affect whether you are charged or not, whether you have a trial or not and ultimately whether you go to prison or not.
The rules for dealing with under 18's in the courts are very different to those for adults. We have a specialist team of solicitors with years of experience of dealing with youths in either the youth court or the Crown Court, whatever the offence alleged.
If your case is being dealt with at the Crown Court you will have a dedicated caseworker to help prepare it with you. We also have a team of in house solicitor advocates who can present the cases for you, or we can arrange for an independent barrister to deal with your case if that would be the better option.
Sometimes things go wrong in court and you are convicted when you shouldn't be, or you receive a sentence that was disproportionate for the offence that you committed. In these circumstances you may want to appeal.
Offences of violence range from murder at one extreme to common assault at the other. This page gives a brief introduction to each. Given the many consequences which flow from a conviction for violence it is really important to make sure you are represented at each stage of the proceedings.
There are a range of different offences relating to controlled drugs. The most common ones are possession with intent to supply, supplying drugs, importing drugs, cultivating cannabis and possession of drugs.
Whether its an allegation of careless driving, failing to stop at a roundabout or driving whilst under the influence of excess alcohol, road traffic cases with the risk of penalty points, bans or even prison, are often far from straight forward. Our experienced team of solicitors can guide you every step of the way.
Football is our national sport, and one that we love at Johnson's. You will regularly find our staff on the terraces of all our local clubs. We know how it feels to be promoted, or relegated. We know the emotions generated when your team score a last minute winner, or the despair when they concede one.
A football banning order can be made against anybody convicted of a football -related offence. They ban people from attending Premier league or football league games for a specified period of time, between three and 10 years. They can even sometimes be made even if you have not been convicted of any criminal offence.
Football banning orders always have a specified length, between three years and 10 years. However you can apply for them to be lifted early. Once two thirds of the ban has been served you can make an application to the court to have it lifted. For example, if your ban was for three years you can apply after two years, and if you're ban was for six years you could apply after four years.
Whether you are facing proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA) at the end of a criminal case, during an investigation or after you thought the whole thing had gone away POCA also known as confiscation can be a costly and complicated area of law to be involved in.

Never in the history of english law has one area of work donned so many different costumes. Offences of dishonestly involving the obtaining of money or services by dishonest means, often deception or misrepresentation find themselves dressed up with all sorts of pseudonyms.
"Is your client fit to plead?" is a question often bounded about between advocates at court. Many people latch on to the phase fit to plead in the hope that it may be a quick exit strategy from a potentially difficult trial.
