Michael Carroll & Co

Established in 1996, Michael Carroll & Co & Co has built a reputation as a trusted provider of specialist criminal defence services across London and throughout England & Wales. Our firm combines over 24 years of experience with a personal, client-focused approach, offering comprehensive legal representation from initial advice through to court proceedings. We pride ourselves on our dedicated team of solicitors, advocates, and support staff who work collaboratively to deliver tailored solutions for each client's unique circumstances. With expertise in complex areas such as sexual offences, fraud investigations, and driving offences, we maintain strong working relationships with probation services, youth offending teams, and forensic experts to ensure robust defence strategies. Our commitment to accessibility is demonstrated through 24/7 emergency support, home visits, and flexible appointment times beyond standard office hours.

While primarily privately funded, we also handle cases with legal aid eligibility, maintaining transparency in our fee structures. Our lawyers regularly appear in Magistrates Courts, Crown Courts, and Appeal Courts, supported by a network of barristers and private investigators when required. The firm's principal, Michael Carroll & Co & Co, leads a team that includes Higher Rights Advocate Edel Speirits and Crown Court specialist Umar Takiola. We serve clients across Essex, Hertfordshire, Surrey, and beyond, with a proven track record in defending cases ranging from local matters to high-profile national cases. Our client-centric philosophy ensures continuous support throughout legal proceedings, including post-sentencing advice and bail application assistance.
