About Us: Allen Hoole Solicitors – Over a Century of Criminal Defence Expertise
At Allen Hoole Solicitors, we are proud to be the largest criminal defence practice in the South West of England, with offices in Bristol, Keynsham, and Cheltenham.
Our firm was formed in 2007 through the merger of two well-established criminal defence teams: Allen & Partners, which began in 1983, and the criminal department of Hoole & Co, with an even longer history in criminal law. In 2018, we became Allen Hoole Limited, and in 2022 Allen Hoole merged with Steven Young & Co to become Allens Young in Cheltenham. Our team now combines over a century of legal experience in criminal defence.
With decades of expertise across our solicitors, Allen Hoole is committed to defending individuals accused of crimes. Whether you are facing a minor charge or a complex legal battle, our specialists in criminal law offer the knowledge and experience to represent you with the highest level of care and professionalism.
Our Approach: Dedicated, Thorough, and Client-Focused
At Allen Hoole, we take a client-first approach. We know that facing criminal charges is stressful, and having a dedicated solicitor by your side is essential. When you work with Allen Hoole, you will have a dedicated solicitor assigned to your case, handling it from start to finish. This ensures continuity and allows you the confidence of knowing that the same person, fully familiar with your situation, will be representing you throughout the legal process.
We believe in thorough, detailed scrutiny of every case. Our team carefully examines each aspect of your case, leaving no stone unturned in our efforts to secure the best possible outcome for you. By enlisting qualified experts when necessary and building a strong defence, we ensure that every avenue is explored in your favour.
In-House Advocacy and Crown Court Expertise
One of the unique strengths of Allen Hoole is our in-house Crown Court department, made up of highly skilled advocates who specialise in handling cases before a Judge and Jury. Our in-house team allows for early involvement of the advocate who will eventually represent you in court, ensuring consistent representation and in-depth knowledge of your case from start to finish.
This continuity avoids the disruption that can occur when barristers are changed at the last moment. With Allen Hoole, your advocate will be fully prepared to represent you in court, familiar with every detail of your defence. In addition, we have strong relationships with all of the leading barristers' chambers and can advise on and facilitate the instruction of the most suitable and experienced advocate for your case.
