Practice area
Criminal Law
Robust defence at every stage — from the station counter to the appellate bench.
Overview
An arrest is not a conviction. We intervene early, insist on your constitutional protections, and hold the prosecution to the standard of proof the law demands.
Every matter in this area begins with the same discipline: establish the facts, verify the documents, identify the governing law, and give you a candid reading of your position before a naira is spent on anything further.

- Bail applications at the police station and in court
- Defence at trial before Magistrates’ and High Courts
- Financial crime, fraud and EFCC/ICPC-related matters
- Enforcement of fundamental rights against unlawful detention
- Plea bargaining and sentence mitigation
- Criminal appeals and applications for review
Working with us
What you get, and what you will not.
A scope in writing
What we will do, what it will cost and roughly how long it will take — agreed before the work starts.
Verification, not assumption
Searches are run, documents are inspected and the other side's claims are tested before we rely on any of it.
Updates you did not have to chase
You are told at every material stage. Silence from your lawyer is not a service standard we accept.
No inflated promises
We do not guarantee outcomes, and we will tell you when your position is weak or when settlement serves you better.
Common questions
Criminal Law
General guidance only — the answer in your case depends on your facts.
All FAQsCall a lawyer before you go, and go with one. You have the right to remain silent and the right to counsel; statements written without advice are the single most common cause of avoidable convictions.
Bail at the police station is free as a matter of law. Where a demand is made, that is itself unlawful, and we take it up on your behalf.
