What Is Pre-Charge Representation?
The Critical Window When Everything Can Be Saved
You’re under investigation but not yet charged. This is the most important moment in your entire case.
Most people think they must wait passively whilst police build their case. That’s exactly how professionals lose everything they’ve worked for.
Pre-charge representation is your opportunity to fight back before charges destroy your career, reputation, and future.
When Your Career Hangs in the Balance
You feel completely powerless. The police are investigating. Your reputation is crumbling. Colleagues are whispering. Your family is stressed.
But here’s what they don’t tell you: This is actually when you have the most power to influence the outcome.
Before charges are filed, we can:
- Challenge the evidence before it becomes “fact”
- Question police procedures before they become accepted
- Present your side before prosecutors make decisions
- Negotiate resolution before your name hits the courts
Why Timing Is Everything
The Window Is Closing
Every day you wait:
- Police solidify their case against you
- Evidence becomes harder to challenge
- Your reputation suffers more damage
- Intervention becomes more difficult
The System Assumes Guilt
Police investigate to prove you’re guilty, not to find the truth. They’ll interpret everything in the worst possible light unless someone challenges them immediately.
Charges Change Everything
Once charged:
- Your name becomes public
- Professional bodies are notified
- Employers must be informed
- The damage may be irreversible
Pre-charge intervention is your best chance to make this disappear completely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you really stop charges being filed?
Yes. We challenge evidence, question procedures, and negotiate with prosecutors before they make charging decisions.
How quickly can you start working on my case?
Immediately. For urgent situations, Fraser Masood responds within hours. We begin strategic intervention from our first conversation.
What if the police have already interviewed me?
Pre-charge intervention can still be effective after an interview. We analyse what happened, challenge any procedural errors, and present additional evidence or arguments to prosecutors.
How much does pre-charge representation cost?
Your entire career is worth more than our fees. We provide transparent pricing and understand this is an investment in your future. Many clients consider it the best money they’ve ever spent.
Will hiring a criminal solicitor make me look guilty?
No. Smart professionals protect themselves. Police and prosecutors respect those who exercise their rights properly.
What if pre-charge intervention doesn't work?
If charges are filed despite our efforts, we continue fighting through the courts with the advantage of knowing the case inside out from the beginning.
