There are many exceptional legal aid criminal defence solicitors in the UK, however legal aid firms are financed by the government and fees paid to legal aid firms are extremely low.

Privately-funded firms like Britton and Time Solicitors take on a much lower number of criminal defence cases and focus on building a more comprehensive defence, provide you with more frequent communication, and dedicate more time to drafting documents and liaising with the police and prosecution.
