Carter Moore - Specialist Criminal Defence Solicitors

Many firms of solicitors offer a wide range of general services to individuals and/or companies. At Carter Moore, we pride ourselves on the fact that we offer a specialist service to our clients. We have expertise borne of many years of experience of advising and representing clients in cases of alleged fraud, money laundering, asset forfeiture, serious and organised crime and regulatory issues.

Members of the VHCC Panel

Carter Moore Solicitors are founder members of the Very High Cost Cases Panel (VHCC) operated and regulated by the Legal Services Commission (previously known as the Specialist Fraud Panel). Only member firms are able to offer publicly funded defence services in cases that meet the VHCC criteria.

As specialist defence solicitors, we like to think that we play to our strengths - concentrating only on those niche areas of law in which we excel. By doing so, Carter Moore can bring to bear all our experience and expertise in order to provide our clients with the best chance of securing the most favourable outcome to their case.

On 1st August 2008, Barry George, represented at trial by Carter Moore, was acquitted of the murder of Jill Dando following a retrial. Read more about the retrial and aquittal of Barry George.

On 10th December 2007 the Court of Appeal passed judgment in the case of R v Sean Hoey who was convicted of the Omagh bombings. The appeal focussed on the reliance of the prosecution on Low Copy Number (LCN) DNA evidence. The judges, in quashing the convictions, were particularly scathing about the use of LCN DNA evidence, and the Criminal Cases Review Commission are now considering inviting applications from any persons convicted on the basis of such evidence.

Carter Moore has recently learned of its appointment to the elite Very High Cost Case (VHCC) Panel of the Legal Services Commission (LSC). The VHCC Panel comes into force on 14th January 2008. As from that date only firms who have been appointed to the panel, having been approved by the LSC as having the requisite competence and experience in handling serious and complex cases, will be allowed to represent defendants in cases deemed to fit the criteria of a 'Very High Cost Case' in publicly funded matters.
