To be falsely accused of a criminal offence, much less a sexual crime, is shocking and unnerving; you may not know who to turn to and perhaps you've reached this page via an internet search or because a loved one, friend, or colleague has recommended that Jim Meyer can assist.

Assembling the right legal team to advise and actively defend you will be one of the most important actions that you take.
Jim Meyer will do all that he can to ensure the best possible outcome.
Don't panic
Jim is a top rated criminal defence solicitor who can help; he has acted for numerous clients in a similar position to you, including but not limited to those accused of rape and historic sex abuse. He has helped some avoid a charge completely; others have been acquitted after trial. In all cases, what was required, and what Jim will do for you, is a systematic approach to analyse the evidence and investigate your case from the moment that you first instruct him.
Jim will dismantle the prosecution case
Jim's proactive defence of you will take the prosecution case apart and examine the processes by which its evidence came into existence. This requires specific analytical and information-processing skills. It requires a detailed knowledge of how police investigations are conducted and what information and evidence should have been collected and should have been made available to you.
The end result is a clear understanding of how the evidence presented by the prosecution is invalid and / or unreliable. But this is only one key aspect of what is required. Being proactive means taking action by causing change, not only reacting to change when it happens. You cannot simply sit back and hope that the police will do their job and realise they’ve made a terrible mistake - you need to act fast and ensure that:
- Any and all evidence is secured;
- Alibis are identified and supporting evidence collected;
- Potential alternative suspects are identified, when appropriate;
- Scientific experts are consulted and retained.
