Criminal records can feel confusing and for many people, a little worrying. It’s easy to get these things right and wrong about what stays on your record, who can see it, and how it might affect your future.
When facing any legal issue, knowing when to seek advice and what to expect from a solicitor can make all the difference.
If your child has been called to youth court, it's completely natural to feel overwhelmed or even confused. It’s a situation that no parent ever wants to be in. But knowing what to expect and how to support your child can make a big difference.
At The Johnson Partnership we aim to ensure that as few of our clients as possible actually have to go to court. It is easy to advise somebody at the police station, have them bailed to return 2 or 3 months later and then let everything go to sleep.
Few things that it is impossible to imagine can be worse than being locked up in a foreign country when no-one speaks your language, whether it be the court, the police, the prosecution, the fellow prisoners and even your own lawyer.
"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.
