You absolutely do. If you are being asked for a voluntary interview it means you are a suspect and you need to act to protect yourself and avoid being charged. We are private military lawyers and specialists in pre-charge representation.
Yes, you do. Although the police may call it a chat, it is not a friendly chat you are being asked for a voluntary interview. That means you are a suspect you need to act to protect yourself and avoid being charged with an offence. To do that you need legal advice and representation before and during the ‘chat’. We are specialists in pre-charge representation and can advise and represent you.

Failing a CDT means your career is now at serious risk. There are ways to challenge the result or persuade the chain of command to retain you but this requires specialist knowledge. The first 24-48 hours and your first statement are crucial so it is vital you get legal advice straight away.
We will assemble the right team of experts to advise you and represent you at each stage. At a minimum you will have the advice of a senior solicitor who is an expert in military law throughout your case. Depending on the case we will bring in experienced barristers who are experts in military law, QCs and expert witnesses to provide advice and to represent you in court.
Tell your friend not to panic. We have years of experience in dealing with these cases, many of which never reach court. It’s important to get legal advice early and act proactively. Waiting until the police detect the images will make it much more difficult to resolve without going to court.
