Criminal Defence
You do not need to prove your innocence. The prosecution must prove that you are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Specialist Representation From the Moment an Investigation Begins
Your defence starts the second police make contact. Every word, every decision, every moment matters.
You might think having “nothing to hide” means you don’t need a solicitor. You’re wrong. Even innocent statements can be twisted, misinterpreted, or used against you in ways you never imagined. The law is clear: “anything you say may be given in evidence” – and prosecutors use every word to build their case against you.
The stakes are too high to face this alone.
When Everything You've Built Is at Risk
Police interviews aren’t conversations – they’re evidence-gathering exercises designed to secure convictions. In this high-pressure environment, you need someone who understands the system, knows the tactics, and fights to protect your interests from the very first question.
Fraser Masood’s specialist solicitors don’t just attend interviews – we control them. We ensure procedures are followed, evidence is properly managed, and you have expert guidance for every decision. You’re never left navigating this dangerous territory without protection.
Pre-Charge Intervention: Your Best Chance
This is where cases are won or lost – before charges are even filed.
While other solicitors wait passively for police decisions, we take immediate action to:
- Challenge inaccuracies before they become “facts”
- Influence charging decisions through strategic intervention
- Prevent escalation of allegations where possible
- Secure early resolution that protects your future
Our involvement at the pre-charge stage has proven decisive in countless cases, reducing charges, limiting scope, or achieving complete dismissal.
From Minor Allegations to Murder Trials
We handle the cases that matter most:
- Murder and manslaughter – Including Old Bailey acquittals
- Serious sexual offences – When reputations and careers are at stake
- Complex fraud investigations – Multi-agency operations and financial crime
- Drug conspiracies – International importation and supply networks
- Terrorism enquiries – National security investigations
Every case receives the same relentless commitment, whether it’s a regulatory investigation or a life sentence allegation.

Criminal Offences
Real Results for Real People
Brilliant result
Mr Masood has represented me for a number of years. Whenever I have been caught in a difficult position before the Magistrates Court, with his attention to detail and expert advocacy he always gets me a brilliant result.
– MrN
Brings "A" Game
Honest, learned and experienced solicitor. Mr Masood always brings his A Game to the police station and Court. He is never afraid to challenge the police and the evidence. I would never speak to the police without Mr Masood by my side.
Extremely grateful
Mr Masood represented me for a matter of drug driving. Unfortunately this was the second time I had been charged with this offence and due to my previous convictions I faced the real prospect of a custodial sentence. Mr Masood was able to expertly mitigate on my behalf, expressing my personal circumstances and persuaded the Court to suspend my sentence. I am extremely grateful for his efforts.
– MrR
Professional standards
I was arrested and wrongly accused of assaulting the police. At my police station interview, Mr Masood challenged the evidence provided by the police and escalated the matter to professional standards. I was released with no further action with the arresting officer referred to professional standards for the way I was treated.
– MrP
Unparalleled dedication and empathy
Represented throughout the most difficult period of my life facing an allegation of Rape in the Crown Court. Tenacity and eye for detail through a challenging process led to my acquittal. I can finally move on with my life. Wishing the team nothing but the best.
