Picking Up The Pieces

When things go wrong and you find yourself or a loved one wrongfully convicted or serving a harsher sentence than you expected , it is a bitter blow and at that time you need a firm you can trust with a strong track record of fighting your corner

Jordans Crime - Team has a national reputation in working hard to identify miscarriages of justice and restoring those wrongfully convicted back to their loved ones .

Of course not every case can be successful and sometimes there will be cases where in the absence of fresh evidence or identifiable errors there simply isn't enough material to get you to the Court of Appeal or Criminal Cases Review Commission . That is why at Jordans we carefully and methodically review each case to see if such material exists .

Jordans represented Mr Joynson in relation to serious abuse allegations going back to 1967 . A strong case was advanced but a prejudicial jury convicted him . We stuck with him and demonstrated to the Court of Appeal exactly how unsafe the Conviction was ensuring Mr Joynson was quickly released back to his family

Our clear and honest approach means that if there isn't enough material or your case won't succeed we will tell you and explain in detail what you need to do . If we find the material or evidence we shall leave no stone unturned in getting you to the Court of Appeal .

F was convicted of serious sexual offences . Original applications to the Court of Appeal and CCRC had been declined . We re-investigated the matter and advanced argument over the medical evidence . The CCRC changed its mind and through fresh expert opinion worked with us to get the case back before the court and quashed.

R v W - Court of Appeal 29th December 2009 - The Court quashed a series fo Historical allegations of abuse based on a series of misdirecitons by the Court which are often not regarded as grounds for an appeal including Delay , Seperate Consideration , Lucas Directions and misdirections of fact . Thsi demonstrates that each appeal ought to be subject to careful scutiny and not simply refused because it looks at first glance unlikely the appeal will be granted .
