Specialist Criminal Defence Solicitors for Private Clients Across Oxford, the Thames Valley & London
Protect Your Reputation, Career and Liberty with Specialist Criminal Defence Solicitors
Specialist Criminal Defence. Expert Advice. Personal Representation.
Libra Law Solicitors is a specialist private criminal defence practice representing individuals and professionals facing criminal allegations. Based in Oxford & London, we act for clients across London, Oxfordshire and throughout England & Wales, providing discreet, expert representation in criminal investigations, prosecutions and appeals.
We provide clear, decisive advice at a time when clients often need both reassurance and a carefully considered strategy. Where a matter remains under investigation, early intervention can make a significant difference. We scrutinise the evidence, engage proactively with investigators and prosecutors and, where appropriate, make detailed representations seeking to avoid charge or bring an investigation to an early conclusion.
For clients who have already been charged, our focus turns immediately to building the strongest possible defence. We examine the prosecution case in detail, identify weaknesses in the evidence and consider every available legal and evidential challenge. From the first court appearance onwards, we ensure that the case is carefully prepared, the defence strategy remains under constant review, and our clients understand exactly what is happening and what comes next.
Our representation is deliberately personal. Clients have direct access to the solicitor responsible for their case and receive responsive, considered advice throughout. We understand that criminal proceedings can have consequences far beyond the courtroom, and we approach every instruction with the discretion, attention to detail and commitment expected of a specialist private defence practice.

How Our Criminal Defence Solicitors Work
01
Confidential Legal Assessment
Every instruction begins with a private and confidential consultation with the solicitor who will have conduct of your case.
We take the time to understand not only the allegations or investigation, but what is at stake for you personally, professionally and commercially. We identify immediate risks, assess the legal position and determine what action should be taken without delay.
From the outset, you receive clear, considered and decisive advice, giving you a strategy for what comes next and confidence that your position is being protected.
02
Strategic Case Review
Effective criminal defence begins with understanding the case in detail and acting at the right time.
We scrutinise the allegations, evidence and procedure, identify weaknesses and opportunities, and anticipate the issues that may determine the course of an investigation or prosecution. Where there is an opportunity to intervene before charge, we act proactively and make representations where appropriate.
Every case is approached individually. Our strategy is shaped by the evidence, the law and what matters most to you, with meticulous preparation and a clear focus on securing the best available outcome.
03
Direct Access to Your Solicitor
At Libra Law, your case is personally handled by the solicitor responsible for your defence from first instruction to final resolution.
You will not be passed between departments or routinely delegated to junior fee earners. You have direct access to the person advising you, making the strategic decisions and overseeing every aspect of your case.
This continuity allows us to know your case in detail, respond quickly when circumstances change and provide the discreet, highly personal representation expected from a specialist private criminal defence practice.
Why Instruct Libra Law Solicitors?
The choice of criminal defence solicitor is an important one. It requires confidence not only in the advice you receive, but in the judgement, commitment and discretion of the person entrusted with protecting your interests.
At Libra Law, we maintain a focused caseload so that every client receives personal attention, careful preparation and direct access to the solicitor responsible for their defence.
Our approach is strategic from the outset. We take the time to understand the detail of the case, identify the issues that matter and make considered decisions about how and when to act. Clients can expect robust representation without unnecessary noise, measured advice, decisive action where required and a defence strategy shaped around their individual circumstances and objectives.
We understand that a criminal allegation can affect far more than the proceedings themselves. Our advice considers the wider picture, combining clear expert judgement with discretion and meticulous attention to detail from first instruction to final resolution.
