Why choose Lawtons?

Established in 2004 by founding directors Nick Titchener and Stephen Halloran, Lawtons is now one of the largest and most successful criminal defence firms in the country. The Lawtons ethos is founded on offering a bespoke service to each and every client, with the belief that no two cases or clients are the same.

Our expert criminal lawyers strike the balance between catering to the individual and meeting the requirements of the case, providing consistent, expert advice delivered in a way that the client will understand throughout. We truly believe that quality takes precedence over quantity.

From the outset of any criminal investigation or case, a balance of proactive and reactive defending is vital. We strive to achieve the best results by tailoring what we do to the specific nature of the case, in order to achieve the best outcome possible.

Many legal firms claim to be experts, however here at Lawtons we have the awards and consistent feedback from clients and fellow professionals to back up those claims. We hold true to the values we started with over a decade ago. It is you, the client, that instructs us. We are entrusted with your case, your lives and your livelihoods. Why trust anyone else?
