Sexual Offences Involving Children/Minors

Owen Beattie Solicitors specialise in providing tailored and dedicated legal advice, and representing individuals, who are subject to, or have been charged with, offences of a sexual nature involving children.

Such offences are often highly complex, sensitive, and emotionally challenging, requiring careful attention and thorough expertise. Owen Beattie Solicitors engage proactively with investigators, and offer expert legal advice from the outset of the investigation and interview, ensuring that a tailored approach and effective defence strategy is adopted at the earliest stage possible.  

Many of our clients facing such allegations have had no prior involvement with the criminal justice system, and Owen Beattie Solicitors frequently represent professionals, such as engineers, IT professionals, teachers, those in management positions and a range of other professionals. 

The strategic and tailored approach adopted by Owen Beattie Solicitors in dealing with such offences is complimented by working closely with an experienced and dedicated team, including leading barristers, and a variety of experts, who are able to comment on forensic evidence.
