PROTECTING FREE SPEECH AND PEACEFUL PROTEST
Some of our most treasured rights have been won by peaceful protest. Climate change, anti fracking demonstrations and other political protests are increasingly common in these volatile times. Brighton and Sussex have a proud tradition of protest, essential to our democracy. Demonstrations can bring you into conflict with the authorities who sometimes overstep the mark in dealing with protests. Your rights need to be defended.
A SOLICITOR OF YOUR CHOICE
At protests you may be given a leaflet advising you to call one of certain firms if arrested. You don't have to use these firms. You have the right to call your own Solicitor who will attend to look after your interests only, not have a number of detainees to deal with. Similarly if you are charged to court, you may want your own choice of solicitor to represent you. We have 25 years expertise dealing with public order and obstruction cases.
Public order disruption
While many of our cases involve protestors, we can defend any kind of public order offence. From disturbing your neighbour to being involved in a football riot or organised violence.
Finding evidence
With large protests and riots, it’s easy for the police to miss the proof of your innocence in CCTV footage. We are proactive in getting evidence such as CCTV footage and eye-witness accounts in order to clear your name.
We have offices in Hove, Worthing, Eastbourne and Hastings.
