Introduction

We receive numerous letters and telephone calls explaining a problem, but contain no question other than the statement, "anything you can do would be appreciated." Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to personally finance any area of our service and therefore, we are unable to accept pro bono, (no fee), cases. We are not a support Organisation and as funding your case is obviously crucially important, we do not hold ourselves out to be a 'Legal Aid' practice as we do not believe that it is always possible to work at the highest level within the constraints of public funding. Our focus is on giving you an exceptional service.

In addition and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no grants or funding projects available that will pay for, or reimburse to a Client, the fees that other experts and our selves defending these types of allegations must charge.

The real key to defending these types of cases properly is through knowledge and experience of the English legal system. Our primary goal is to keep our literature simple, easy to understand and to supply as much information as possible.

falselyaccused.co.uk deals solely with False Allegation, Criminal Appeals, and Miscarriage of Justice cases involving only those serious offences listed on the home page.

Our service is only available to people who are facing or defending a case in England / Wales and Northern Ireland.

On cases where we are retained to assist someone in reversing a wrongful conviction, we schedule an initial synopsis that usually averages between forty-five (45) to sixty (60) days to meet with the Client, gather all documentation related to the case, and begin our analysis.

As you will read in the “Appeal Process” page, it is not easy to even get “Leave to Appeal”. Experience has shown us, that some people just apply to the Court just for the sake of it, as they have no where else to turn. However, in doing so they could be seen to be wasting the Courts time. In many cases, when this happens, the accused sits in prison for years without a clue of what to do, and wondering what has happened. Meanwhile, those responsible for putting the innocent party in prison just get on with their daily lives. After all they have lost nothing.

Your case may involve a Miscarriage of Justice, Criminal Appeal or False Allegation. In your case vital evidence may not have been produced, there may be fresh evidence, or you may feel that there are other concerns which where not raised during the Court process. If you are assisting someone who was wrongfully convicted, then their very life is in your hands. Simply based on your involvement, you are giving them hope that their incarceration nightmare can and will end. It takes a special individual to dedicate themselves to reversing a conviction. As this is not an easy task to do this takes a great deal of planning, strategy, effort and work. It saddens us at falselyaccused.co.uk each time we talk to someone who is only "playing a game," at turning things around, yet allowing the person sitting in prison, to believe that they honestly care and are doing everything in their power to get them out.

Some people may do this because it makes them feel important by "assisting", while others may feel some responsibility for the conviction. Some may be family members or friends who want to ease the guilt by being seen to be doing something.

One thing that most cases have in common is that they have no direction at all, no plan and usually, in a panic, running from one person to another in an attempt to get help, yet nothing ever seems to get done. Any innocent person, who has been convicted of a serious arrestable offence such as, raping a person or, even murder, is sitting in prison wondering what happened to the very system that is supposed to find the truth, the whole truth and nothing BUT the truth.

They are sitting there, with the realisation that they have done nothing wrong, and have had all their freedom taken from them. They are also sitting there, as a convicted person, a rapist, or even a murderer and are hated by every other inmate. The last thing they need is someone they believe is representing their key to freedom, playing a game with their life. For the sake of the innocent, either do it right or don't get involved.

Once we are instructed to assist in a conviction reversal for someone (who has been falsely accused), our approach, after determining all the facts, is to go directly to the root of the problem. The root is generally that the allegation is a lie and that lie must be exposed. While that, in it self, may not be an easy task, it certainly can be done and is, by far, the best approach. Unfortunately that approach is seldom ever used or thought about by others.

We will not be swayed nor convinced that a lie cannot be exposed under the proper circumstances. However, any attempt to do so, should be left in the hands of those with expertise in the field. When attempting to expose a lie which could easily make the difference between an innocent person remaining in prison or not. If someone inexperienced, and with no specific plan of attack, attempts to expose the lie and fails, they will make things far more difficult, and in some cases impossible, to resolve in order for it to be done properly at a later time. There is absolutely no room for mistakes.

Exposing the lie will not reverse a conviction alone, but it will be the cornerstone of everything necessary to petition the Court for a reversal. In most cases that petition will be based on newly acquired evidence. However, there are some "wrongful-conviction" cases that we will not get involved in.

We advise the Enquirer’s that, when we are doing a synopsis for someone who has been wrongfully convicted, there is no "private investigative" work involved. We are simply working as a "defence strategist," reviewing all records, documents and determining what a proper defence should have been. Then attempting to determine what went wrong and how it might be corrected.

Our philosophy is very simple. We are not politically motivated. When we work for a Client, our loyalty is strictly to them. Our goal is to seek real and final conclusions to problems through our efforts and not just temporary solutions that benefit no one.

Experience has proven that it is best for us not to accept any case where the potential Client is motivated by panic. This is especially true if the enquirer has just had a loved one convicted. In many cases they are angry, and have a desire to take their frustrations out on the world.

Our goal, when retained in any matter regarding a wrongful allegation /conviction, is to have prepared and provided enough evidence so, that, not only is the allegation / conviction reversed, but, we are able to completely destroy the Prosecution's case. Hopefully resulting in a dismissal of all charges, then, and only then, is it all over.

falsleyaccused.co.uk has prepared the material within this literature, for educational purposes. It is designed to assist anyone who is facing or defending a false accusation, false allegation(s) of a serious arrestable nature or who has been wrongfully convicted, because of a false allegation.
