Our dedicated solicitors can be at any police station within 45 minutes to an hour. Advice at the police station is free, and you can always ask the custody sergeant to call us.
AGI Criminal Solicitors was founded by Yasmin Aslam (Solicitor-Advocate) in 2010. Since then the firm has grown into a modern and dynamic law firm and has diversified into prison law, immigration, mental health and public law, with an ever-growing client base.
We specialise in criminal law, fraud, sexual offences, serious crime, terrorism offences, motoring law, criminal appeals and proceeds of crime. Our solicitors and in-house advocates provide 24-hour police station representation and represent clients in the Magistrates' Court, Crown Court and appeal courts, as well as in extradition proceedings.
The Legal 500 describes us as a Manchester-based legal aid practice frequently instructed in crime and serious crime, fraud, extradition, and mental health and immigration mandates, with a specialism in defending prisoners and vulnerable clients across the country. Our client base is both local and national — from people walking in off the street to those who come to us on recommendation.
