What is a Voluntary police interview?

A voluntary interview is a formal interview which will be recorded.  Anything you say in a voluntary interview can be used as evidence if your matter proceeds to court. 

A voluntary interview is also called a Caution Plus 3 interview and interview under caution. 

You are entitled to free legal advice at a voluntary interview. The police can arrange a solicitor for you or you can arrange one yourself.  If you have already asked the police to arrange a solicitor, you can change your mind and arrange your own, however, the officer will need to be informed so they can cancel the other solicitor.  

I have a substantial amount of experience representing people in police interviews who had been falsely accused of a crime, as well those who had broken the law.  Sometimes people act in ways which are completely out of character without considering the consequences.  However, behind every individual is a story only they truly know.  I’m not here to cast judgement.  I’m here to assist you the best way I know how: by using my knowledge, skill and experience to aid you when you are interviewed by the police. 

By instructing me you gain the benefit of my substantial experience in police interviews, acquired over a period of 18+ years.  In the past 2-years alone I represented over 340 individuals interviewed by the police for various offences.  In 2023 I represented over 190 individuals and in 2022 over 150 individuals.  These figures include interviews carried out after an arrest and voluntary interviews. 

I provide free advice at voluntary police interviews – this is funded under the legal aid scheme.  If you have asked the police to arrange a duty solicitor for you but now want to instruct me, you can.  You just need to inform the officer. 

You can contact me by phone, text message, whatsapp or email. 

I provide free legal representation at voluntary police interviews, also called Caution Plus 3 interviews. I am a consultant solicitor at Martin Murray & Associates which is a specialist criminal law practice with offices in Uxbridge and Slough.

Being invited to a voluntary police interview is not something people plan for. It often comes unexpected. And can be a shock. To find out you have been accused of a crime can be incredibly distressing. I’m sure you will have many questions you will want answers to. Most importantly, you will probably want to know what will happen to you.

My focus will be on achieving the best outcome for you at your voluntary police interview.  I have a substantial amount of experience in police interviews.  In the last 2-years alone, I have represented over 340 individuals interviewed by the police. In 2022 I represented over 150 individuals, and in 2023 over 190. These were in interviews after an arrest and voluntary (caution plus 3) interviews. 

Your matter will receive my personal attention and will be treated as a priority. I will provide you with an honest opinion of your situation and any potential defences available to you. 

Imagine walking home one night when you get set on by someone in the street.  In defending yourself from this person’s attack, you’ve hit them several times.  You’ve used as much force as you believed you had to in order to protect yourself.  The other party has sustained quite bad injuries and is left injured on the ground as you’ve run off.  You don’t report the incident to the police.

A few days later you get a call from the police asking you to go to the police station for a voluntary interview.  They tell you they’re investigating an allegation of assault which took place a few days earlier and want to question you.   They offer to arrange a solicitor for you which you accept. 

You go to the interview.  The police tell your solicitor you’re just one of a number of potential suspects the police want to question about this assault.  The victim has suffered injuries following this attack, but they aren’t life-threatening or life-altering. The vicitm was drunk and doesn’t remember anything that happened that night.  A member of the public found them lying on the ground and called an ambulance and police.

The reason police want to question you is because you were identified on CCTV leaving a nearby pub that evening close to the time of the assault.  Other males were also seen leaving the pub and the police want to speak to them too, once they know who they are.  The police know who you are because an officer who dealt with you on a previous occasion recognised you from the CCTV footage.

So, at this stage what evidence do the police have? The only evidence is the CCTV footage showing you near the location close to the time of the assault.

You know you didn’t do anything wrong.  The other person was the aggressor and you are the victim.  You were doing nothing more than protecting yourself after they attacked you.  You have a legal defence to a charge of assault. 

Under the law you are allowed to use reasonable force to protect yourself, which is what you say you did.  If you were ever charged with assault, the prosecution would have to prove you were not acting in self-defence, and the court would have to be sure you were not acting in self-defence to find you guilty.

Should you give your side of the story to the police or should you stay quite in your interview?

If you give your side, that may give the police enough evidence to charge you, and may enable the prosecution to establish a case against you.  With your statement the police can prove identity, in other words that it was you that was involved, and will also be able to prove you hit the other person (using your statement).

By talking, you may be exposing yourself to a risk of prosecution.  That means a court case and several weeks or months of stress.  There is also the possibility the court finds you guilty – court cases are unpredictable. 

The police may however decide to drop the case after listening to your side on the basis there is insufficient evidence to charge you, taking into consideration your defence.  

If you say nothing in your interview, the police will drop the case because there isn’t enough evidence to charge you.

What would you do?

You may want to do the right thing and the right thing may be to talk to the police.  However, if it means you could end up in trouble – trouble you may have been able to avoid if you said nothing – do you still want to? 

What if you say nothing, the police drop the case and then a witness comes forward who claims they will be able to recognise the person involved in the fight (in other words, you).

What if the police get more evidence later on that can prove you were involved.  What if you then get charged with assault.  You said nothing in your interview and the court will know that.  That may affect your credibility at your trial.

As a solicitor I have to balance the advantages and disadvantages of clients answering questions, giving a written statement, or saying nothing when they are interviewed by the police.

That means exercising my judgment to assess which option will achieve the most favourable outcome.  Sometimes it isn’t easy to decide.  There are so many factors to consider and not every solicitor will agree on the same approach.  What helps enormously is my experience.  I can draw from previous cases I’ve worked on. 

The above is just an example of how a solicitor may be able to assist you at an interview.  They can advise you on your options and what they think is the best one for you.

How I can assist you during a voluntary police interview

With a proven track record of representing clients at the police station, I bring over 18 years of experience in this field. In 2023 alone, I represented over a hundred and ninety clients interviewed by the police for various offences.

The impact of a police investigation on people’s lives cannot be underestimated. As an active listener, I will attentively address your concerns and gain a deep understanding of how this situation is affecting you. My focus lies in achieving the best possible outcomes for my clients, as ultimately, that is the priority.

Using my experience in negotiating with the police, I will diligently work to help you avoid a criminal record or mitigate the consequences of your actions. By analysing the specific facts and circumstances of your case, I can provide advice on the most effective approach.

Having extensive knowledge of the legal system, and over 18-years of practical experience, I am well-equipped to guide you through the entire process.

Rest assured, my advice is always honest and transparent, with your best interests at heart. I make myself available at all hours to take calls and attend interviews, unless I have a prior booking.

If you have committed a crime, it is crucial to maintain openness and transparency with me. By doing so, I can advise you on the available options. Additionally, under appropriate circumstances, it may be possible to negotiate an out-of-court disposal with the police, which is a way of resolving matters without going to court. Out-of-court disposals, such as cautions, PNDs (penalty notices for disorder), and community resolutions, are commonly used for less serious offences. However, it’s important to note that not all cases are suitable for such disposals.

Even if you are charged with an offence you have committed, you still have the opportunity to fight the case in court. You cannot put forward a false defence, but you can compel the prosecution to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Challenging the prosecution’s evidence and seeking its exclusion are perfectly viable strategies to employ.

Should you face charges, I can engage a skilled barrister to represent you in court. This legal expert will provide invaluable advice regarding the evidence against you and help determine whether pleading guilty is the most suitable course of action. Furthermore, the barrister may explore the option of negotiating a plea bargain with the prosecution to secure a reduced sentence by pleading guilty to a lesser offence.

If you believe you are innocent, several avenues are available to fight your case. Calling witnesses to testify on your behalf can effectively undermine the prosecution’s case by providing an alternative version of events or contradicting the prosecution’s witnesses. Moreover, it’s possible to challenge the legality of the evidence obtained by the prosecution through unlawful means, such as an illegal search or seizure, thereby challenging the admissibility of such evidence in court.

Being called in for an interview can be really upsetting.  In many cases a person is called in because someone has accused them of doing something illegal.  You may be completely innocent and think it is unfair to have to go to an interview because of what someone has said.  You should, however, go otherwise the police may decide to arrest you.  Hopefully, once the police have listened to what you have to say in your interview, they will close the investigation.  It can, however, take days, weeks and sometimes even months before a final decision is made.  You may decide not to speak to the police in your interview.  Many people choose not to for lots of different reasons.  A solicitor can tell you if it’s a good idea for you to do that or not.

About me: I try to make the interview process as simple and easy for people as possible.  I have 18+ years of experience in representing people at police interviews.  I have also represented people interviewed by the National Crime Agency – most recently in 2022 for drug importation.  My client was innocent and the case against him was dropped. I have also represented many people interviewed by the council for benefit fraud offences.  In 2022 I represented over 150 people in police interviews and in 2023 over 190 people.

Reviews

‘Yasar has been a fantastic help to me in something that I stupidly done. He was responsive immediately and met me at a Police Station. He went into the Station, reviewed the evidence and gave me the exact breakdown of what could happen best and worst case.  We decided between us the best way forward and came to a resolution with the Police which resulted in a Community Resolution. Lessons have been learnt and I would highly recommend this guy. He knows his stuff inside out’.

‘I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional support and outstanding results you provided during my recent caution +3 interview for theft. Your expertise, guidance, and dedication truly made a difference in the outcome of my case.

From the very beginning, you exhibited a deep understanding of the legal process, ensuring that I was well-informed and prepared for each step. Your professionalism and approachability instantly put me at ease, making it easier for me to navigate a challenging situation.

Your commitment to my case was evident in every interaction we had. You provided clear explanations, answered all my questions, and consistently kept me updated on any developments. Your meticulous attention to detail and strategic approach played a crucial role in the case being closed with no further action.

I am genuinely impressed by your level of expertise and your ability to handle the complexities of my situation. Your hard work and dedication have earned my utmost respect and trust. I have no hesitation in recommending you to my family and friends should they ever require legal assistance.

Once again, thank you for your exceptional service. You’ve not only achieved a favorable outcome for me but also made a lasting positive impact on my perception of legal proceedings.’

Subsequent to a Police demand to attend a Caution+3 interview for an alleged but thoroughly malicious accusation of harassment, I was very fortunate to retain Yasar Saleem to represent my interests and provide me with both information and legal advice which he did impeccably prior to, and during, and post the interview, resulting in me disproving the accusation and no further action to be progressed’.

‘Fantastic solicitor, he knows what he is doing / talking about. He knew from the very beginning that the accusations made towards myself were completely unjustifiable from a legal perspective and helped me sort things out during my caution 3+ interview. I can’t recommend him enough, the interview went smoothly and he helped me throughout the whole process. If you ever are in a situation where you are accused of something (either at the police station or being invited for a caution 3+ interview) don’t hesitate to call him. He will suggest you the best course of action and his knowledge is indeed amazing :)’

‘I would really recommend Yaser for anyone who is asked to attend a voluntary police interview. When I first contacted him, he was so kind and allowed me over 90 minutes on the phone! Something rare with other solicitors who would not give you their time, especially given you may not use them and it could all be for nothing! I was very anxious about the interview, Yaser reassured me always, never made me feel l was was being silly! I had a long wait for my interview and during that time, he always took my calls and called me back if he had missed the call.

His advice was spot on and I was able to have a no further action outcome. A true professional and a gentleman.  I would 110% definitely recommend Yaser!’

On the day of the interview, he asked the officer the right questions and explained my position to me, the laws that applied and how my actions would be interpreted. His presence was reassuring and his knowledge accurate and objective. I gave my interview and the full sequence of events and was not charged. I would highly recommend Yasar’s services which were provided through legal aid’.

He could quite easily have sped off to his next client but no, this man is compassionate. I seriously don’t think a solicitor comes any better than Yasar and I’d recommend him 100% every time.

I did not have any knowledge or practice to conduct such stressful process…Mr Saleem years of experience in police station as well as courtrooms build its craftsmanship and charisma as a very dedicated Lawyer but also a very understanding human being who has a well aware insight of the duties he is carrying.

Yasar was a consummate professional, he took time to understand the circumstances of the case and was meticulous in going through the details in order to provide me with the best advice. He was also very strong when dealing with the officer responsible for the investigation. I would not hesitate to use Yasar again (although I hope this won’t ever be necessary). Thanks Yasar.’

‘Yasar represented me in December 2016 after being falsely accused of theft. As soon as I had made contact and we’d had a brief chat over the phone about the case I felt more at ease (I’d not been in any trouble with the police before and even though I’d done nothing wrong this scenario was still a little daunting).

Yasar assisted me with arranging the police interview and on meeting took time to fully understand my case and was more than thorough, going through every detail and giving me every assurance about the case, discussing probable outcome scenarios and fully explaining the interview process.

At one point during the interview the line of questioning -well, it didn’t take a turn for the worse but I felt I was being led in a direction that wasn’t quite right and Yasar identified this also and jumped in, stopping the interview so we could regroup.

After the interview I felt elated and this is mostly down to Yasar’s professionalism (well, and the fact that I’d not done anything wrong but it wasn’t a nice situation to be in). He ensured I was comfortable, well informed, that I had nothing to worry about and everything went really well. I honestly hope there’s no further need for a criminal solicitor in my life but if I do Yasar’s the man and have his number in my phone…’

‘The service that Yasar Saleem provided during a difficult time for me was indispensable. His advice was clearly and methodically explained in a thoroughly professional manner, the ‘why’ as well as the ‘what’. At all times I felt that Mr Saleem acted for me and in my best interests.’

‘Meeting Yasar after being arrested, he listened properly to me & clearly saw my situation. I was extremely grateful to meet such an empathetic solicitor… and I can safely say that Yasar would be my first port of call should the need arise in my future. He was very professional through out my detention..’
