Local help

Getting criminal defence help in London

High Court civil claims are heard at the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand, and business, property and insolvency work goes to the Rolls Building close by. Most everyday cases never get near either. They go to the Central Family Court at High Holborn, the Central London County Court or one of the county court hearing centres out in the boroughs. A criminal case starts at the local magistrates' court and, if it goes further, moves to one of several Crown Courts. The Old Bailey is simply the best known.
