Every qualified, experienced legal specialist in the UK will have worked hard to gain the qualifications they need to get the job done, of course, and over the years will have developed a robust understanding of the various pieces of legislation that pertain to their particular role. Knowing how the law operates and how to work alongside it are crucial factors in this field, but they’re only ever going to be parts of the bigger picture.
Because in many ways, the lawyer you choose to work with you and to represent you has to be so much more than that. The human qualities that he or she possesses are equally, if not more, important. If you were facing a serious criminal charge such as money laundering, for example, in the early stages of the process you’ll almost certainly be in a confused, agitated and nervous state of mind.
At that stage, there’s a need for not only expertise, but also understanding. An empathetic and calm approach would be crucial, to relax the client and to ensure he or she becomes relaxed enough to tell their story. Putting that person at ease enables them to explain clearly all the things that happened, and all the circumstances that led up to a particular incident.
Only when the legal specialist knows all the facts can the defence start to take shape. Here at MML Law, our team has a reputation for building strong cases on behalf of our clients, and while we remain resilient and uncompromising in our negotiations with the courts and other bodies, that strength only comes from client consultations that always begin with a sympathetic conversation.
Help when you need it most
We fully understand that anyone who is accused of a crime, whether it’s a serious offence or something a little less than that, can be scared and confused from the start. In the initial stages, the police will inevitably put pressure on the individual in order to help their case, so an already tense situation can quickly become even more so. Therefore, effective, robust legal representation at this stage is a must.
We’ve all seen films and TV shows in which a high-flying lawyer picks a hole or two in the case against their client and dramatically secures a not guilty verdict with a final flourish of brilliance, but day to day legal cases really aren’t like that. The focus remains the same, however; to ensure the client gets a fair hearing and to protect the individual’s legal rights at all times.
Being accused of any crime can be a daunting and unsettling experience, so you need to make sure you have the right people by your side from the very start. Therefore, the sensible option is to contact the team at MML Law today. We can be contacted today on 01382 206000 or at legalservices@mmllaw.co.uk. We hope that you’ll get in touch soon, and that we get to help you during such a difficult time.
