Your Options

Your case. Your options.

Understand Your Options

Our role isn't to tell you what to do

It's to explain the pathways available to you.

  • We explain the strengths and weaknesses of your case, the risks involved and the likely costs
  • For some matters, we conduct your case personally from start to finish
  • For complex or serious trials, we can bring in an experienced barrister alongside us
  • No one-size-fits-all approach — we recommend the path that's right for you, not the most expensive one
  • Whatever your budget, we'll sit down and talk through the best way forward

“The benefit of engaging Payne Criminal Lawyers is that you have the choice — an experienced solicitor with barrister experience, or both.”

We Want to Make a Difference

Your future matters

Choosing the right lawyer for that moment matters. That's the service Payne Criminal Lawyers was built to provide.


Solicitor-led, start to finish

You can engage an experienced solicitor with Counsel experience to run your matter personally, without the added cost of a barrister.


Or a team, when it counts

In complex or high-stakes matters, we can brief a barrister and work alongside them as part of your team — your call, not ours.


A personalised approach

Every budget deserves the best representation. We'll sit down, talk through your options, and find the path that works for you.

Will you make the right choice the first time?
