Crown Court Solicitors: Nelson & Burnley


At Steele Ford & Newton we have a dedicated Crown Court Team. Preparation is key. Our experienced team will make sure that your case is prepared fully for Court.

Our average case load includes:

  1. Appeals against Conviction and Sentence
  2. Serious Drug Offences
  3. Serious Public Order Offences.
  4. Offences Against the Person including Murder
  5. Complex Fraud and Money Laundering Offences
  6. Serious Sexual Offences

At Steele Ford & Newton it is our firm’s policy not to instruct in-house Higher Court Advocates. This means that although your case will be prepared by our Crown Court Team and Supervised by an experienced Solicitor, we still instruct Counsel to represent you in the Crown Court. This means that we are able to instruct a barrister based on their ability and particular skills rather than the fact they are employed by our firm. We have established excellent working relationships with a number of the top criminal barristers in the country.
