What criminal matters can you help me with?
Malekin Law can help you with every single criminal matter there is - from simple road traffic incidents to very serious crimes. We offer a complete legal service too: from arrest through to trial. This includes:

Police Stations
Malekin law provides an emergency call out service for clients arrested in the South Wales Area. The Criminal Law department is headed by Paul Malekin, a solicitor with 25 years experience in the Courts of South Wales and beyond. All the staff undertaking work in the criminal department have solid training and considerable experience in the field. Experienced staff are available to attend at Police Stations for qualifying offences and at the very least you could be advised on the telephone, what your best course of action would be. Paul Malekin and the company also participate in the local duty solicitor rota.

Magistrates Courts
We cover most of the Magistrates Courts in the South Wales area and appear as Court Duty Solicitors at Cardiff Magistrates.

Youth Courts
Malekin Law has developed a specialist youth justice team with expert knowledge of the particular problems faced by young people in the criminal justice system.

Crown Courts
We undertake a large number of matters in the Crown Court. Our criminal department is well known for its work in serious crime. We handle a large number of murders, serious drug offences, and frauds, offering an extremely skilled service.

Court of Appeal
Malekin Law are very experienced in taking matters to the Court of Appeal and beyond if the need arises and have contacts and access to some of the finest barristers in the land.

What should I do if I am arrested?
You will be notified at the Police Station that you are entitled to free and independent legal advice. We recommend that you obtain legal advice at an early stage in your attendance at the Police Station, whether under arrest or as “a volunteer”. This will be available to you to determine whether or not a member of the Malekin Law legal team believe you should have somebody on the spot with you as quickly as possible. The Police know the emergency number for Malekin Law and have done so for 20 years, i.e. since the introduction of free legal advice at Police Stations. Should you be eligible you will not have to pay a penny for Police Station advice. Eligibility depends upon the nature of the offence, not your finances!

Once you have left the police station and you qualify for Legal Aid, we will represent you free of charge. A representation order in the Magistrate's Court can grant you Legal Aid. This is non-means tested, but depends on the merits of your case.
