Why timing decides outcome

Voluntary Interview?
Do Not Attend Alone

If you have been asked to attend a voluntary interview, this is not informal. It is a formal criminal interview under caution and will be used as evidence if proceedings follow.

Before you attend, we will speak to the officer in the case, obtain key disclosure, and advise you on whether to answer questions, provide a prepared statement, or remain silent. This is where cases are often won or lost.

From the moment you contact us, we take control of your defence — calm under pressure, strategic from the outset, and focused on results.

Why Chess Law

Why Early Advice Matters

Prevent charge altogether

Where the evidence does not meet the required threshold, effective representation at the police station can lead to no further action.

Limit the scope of the investigation

How questions are answered — or not answered — affects what the prosecution can later allege. We ensure that decision is made with full awareness of the consequences.

Shape the case before it reaches court

What happens in the first hours of an investigation shapes everything that follows. Early specialist advice positions the defence on the strongest footing.

Specialist tactics, not duty cover

We know the tactics used by investigators — and we know how to respond to them. This is not a duty-solicitor service.

Discreet, strategic, immediate

We understand the pressure you are under. Our approach is calm, considered and focused on protecting your reputation, career and family.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

I have been asked to attend a voluntary interview. Is it really voluntary?

A voluntary interview is a formal criminal process conducted under caution. It is not informal and should never be approached without legal advice. We engage with the officer in the case in advance, obtain disclosure, and advise on the correct approach.

That depends on the facts and the disclosure provided. We advise on whether to answer questions, provide a prepared statement, or exercise the right to silence — and the consequences of each approach.

It means you have been interviewed but not charged, and the investigation continues. There is no automatic time limit. Active legal representation during this period can shape the outcome significantly.
