Criminal Law
Legal Direct INT is committed to facilitating the provision of legal advice to our clients at any stage of the criminal process, from initial arrest and detention at the police station, through to the pre-trial process, trial and any appeals process that this may engender. Our consultants will be available to receive your call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and will be able to contact one of our specialist solicitors to attend a police station in the instance of the arrest. These solicitors will be on hand to provide prompt legal advice, as well as ascertain that all relevant police procedures have been followed according to the PACE guidelines, which govern police behaviour on the arrest. In addition to assistance in circumstances of the arrest, our solicitors are available to provide help with all aspects of criminal law, whether it be offences such as drinking and driving or common assault, or more serious offences which are likely to be referred to the Crown Court, such as r**e and murder. Our expert team of consultants will also be able to liaise with different legal professionals in cases involving issues such as fraud or directors' obligations under company law, as these can come under civil or criminal jurisdictions, depending on the facts. Immigration
Whatever immigration issues you face, Legal Direct INT will be able to ascertain the relevant issues and direct you to the legal professional whose expertise most closely corresponds with your requirements. Whether the facts of your particular case centre primarily on immigration, such as your being the subject of a deportation order or there are other facets, such as family law in the case of spouses or children, our expert referral consultants will be able to direct you to the legal professional who will most swiftly be able to provide a satisfactory resolution to your issue. Benefit Problems
Problems relating to benefits, whether they be concerned with issues of benefit fraud, procedural abnormalities or any other circumstance, can be assessed by one of our team and promptly passed on to one of our trusted and experienced professionals in this area. Landlord and Tenant Issues
Landlord and Tenant issues are governed by the Landlord and Tenant Acts, but there are inevitably issues of conveyancing and contract law that are related to these. Choosing the appropriate legal advisor is therefore not a straightforward process. Our expert referral consultants will be able to navigate you through the process and engage the legal professional with the most relevant areas of specialty. Family Law
Our network of legal professionals contains many family law specialists. These experienced professionals will be well-placed to guide you through any difficulties you may be facing, including issues such as divorce, custody issues and related matters. They will advise you on the best course of action, whether it is related to pursuing a method of ADR (alternative dispute resolution) or preparing for trial. Commercial Law
Our legal professionals are able to provide advice relating to the full spectrum of commercial law issues, including competition law, contract and companies law, whether it is to do with being a sole trader, partnership or LLP, or a limited company. In addition, our consultants will be able to guide you to the appropriate legal advice in relation to issues of commercial property and direct you to advice in instances of insolvency and liquidation, which combine many of the aforementioned disciplines.
