Criminal Law
Facing prosecution for a criminal offence can be a daunting experience, and it's essential to have access to the right legal advice from the outset. Our experienced solicitors are available 24/7, 365 days a year, to provide guidance and representation throughout the legal process. Whether you're accused of a minor or serious offence, we understand the importance of having a dedicated and compassionate legal team on your side.
Our criminal law specialists have extensive experience in defending clients in the police station, magistrates' court, and Crown Court. With a team of highly skilled and experienced barristers and higher court advocates, we're equipped to handle complex cases from start to finish. We pride ourselves on our personal and sensitive approach, ensuring that every client receives tailored advice and support throughout their legal journey.
Prison Law
In addition to our criminal law expertise, we've also developed a strong reputation in the field of prison law. With over thirty years of combined experience, our prison law team has a deep understanding of the complexities of the prison system and the legal rights of prisoners. We're dedicated to providing expert advice and guidance to inmates, their families, and professionals, ensuring that every individual receives the support they need during this challenging time.
Our prison law specialists have extensive experience in addressing the rights and entitlements of prisoners during their sentence.

We're always available to advise and assist clients, and we're proud to be members of the Association of Prison Lawyers.
Taxi Licence
As a reputable and experienced law firm, we understand the importance of your taxi licence to your livelihood and business. Our expert team of solicitors has unrivalled expertise in representing taxi drivers in retaining their licenses. Whether your licence has been revoked, refused, or suspended, we can help you find a solution. We also deal with disciplinary hearings, driving offences, and restrictions, suspensions, and disqualifications for taxi drivers.
Motoring and Road Traffic Offences
In the event of a motoring or road traffic offence, our specialist lawyers are committed to providing outstanding advice and assistance in court. With extensive experience in this field, we understand the importance of keeping your licence and avoiding disqualification or penalty points. We've got the expertise to represent you on the full range of driving offences, from speeding and excess alcohol to using a mobile telephone and failure to provide a specimen.
Fees
Our fees vary depending on the level of service required. For motoring matters, we offer two levels of service:
- Level 1: From 250 plus VAT (minimum costs for 1 hour), including case preparation, attendance on you, and providing initial advice.
- Level 2: From 250 to 600 plus VAT, including Level 1 services and representation at court for mitigation.
We understand that dealing with legal issues can be stressful and overwhelming, and we're committed to making the process as smooth and straightforward as possible. At BD Solicitors, we're dedicated to providing exceptional legal services with a personal and professional touch.
Overall Impression
The reviews of BD Solicitors are mixed, with both praise and criticism for their services. The most prominent theme is the varying levels of communication and professionalism displayed by the firm's solicitors.
Communication and Response
There is a significant difference in the level of communication and response from the firm. Some reviewers, such as Kiss Chase, received prompt and helpful attention from their solicitor Charlie, who was knowledgeable and effective in handling their case. In contrast, Mariem Jobe experienced poor communication, with phone calls going unanswered and minimal updates on her brother's case. This lack of communication led to her brother missing a court hearing with no effort to rectify the situation.
Service and Professionalism
On the other hand, reviewers Sarah Ebertz, Rabeel Ali, Elizabeth Kurian, and Serish Bibi all had positive experiences with BD Solicitors. They praised the firm's professional and friendly service, with solicitors going above and beyond to assist them. Specifically, Claire Thorneley, Baiju Thittala Sir, and Bal Dhaliwal/Michelle Canagasuriam were singled out for their exceptional support and help.
