Court Proceedings
If you have been charged with an offence that will be subject to court proceedings, Jonathan Lynch can provide you with the assistance that you need.
Jonathan Lynch can represent you during proceedings in the following courts:
• Court Martial
• Service Civilian Court
• Summary Appeal Court
• Court Martial Appeal Court
• Magistrates Court
• Crown Court
In relation to ‘military court’ proceedings, this service is available wherever in the world the court case will be heard, although the main military court centres are in Bulford (UK), Catterick (UK), Cyprus and Germany.
In relation to ‘civilian court’ proceedings, this service could be provided in any geographical location in England and Wales.
As a ‘solicitor advocate’, Jonathan Lynch can personally represent you during these proceedings as the litigator and advocate. Where it is deemed advantageous to you, however, a barrister can be instructed for the advocacy element of the case and Jonathan Lynch will act as the litigator.
For ‘military court’ proceedings, ‘legal aid' funding through the Armed Forces Criminal Legal Aid Authority might be available.
For 'civilian court’ proceedings, ‘legal aid’ fudning through the Legal Aid Agency might be available.
‘Legal aid’ funding is always subject to means testing. It might be that you are not eligible for ‘legal aid’, so a ‘private fee’ agreement would need to be reached. Of course, you might decide to bypass the ‘legal aid’ agencies and go straight for private funding - that is an entirely acceptable process to take, although Jonathan Lynch does recommend that ‘legal aid’ is applied for in the first instance, as it is invariably cheaper you for than a 'private fee' agreement.
Please see the ‘Funding’ page for more details or contact Jonathan Lynch directly to discuss your options.
