About Us

We are Lincolnshire’s only pure criminal law firm

Protecting clients since 2005

CDA was born on the 1st May 2005, being based in Spalding and Ruskington, and moved into Boston in February 2006.

The firm was founded by Phillipa Chatterton, Neil Sands, John Storer and Mike Alexander, all solicitors who had specialised in criminal law, and all shared a purpose in bringing the very best in representation to those involved in the criminal justice system.

Since then we have grown, and despite the challenges of legal aid contracting and the passing of John Storer, we have come through to be a highly respected and leading criminal law firm, and one still holding to the original ethos of our founding in 2005.

Why Choose Us

Other firms have criminal departments, but we are a firm dedicated just to criminal law work.

We cover all the Police Stations in Lincolnshire 24/7, so whatever time of day or night, if you want a qualified, trained legal adviser to help you, then just ask the Police to contact CDA – they know-how, whatever time, whatever day.

Our solicitors appear in Magistrates Courts not only in Lincolnshire but across the East Midlands and beyond. Whatever the type of allegation, we have the knowledge and experience to deal with it for you.

If your case is so serious that it goes to the Crown Court – or even beyond – we can still help you, as we have Solicitor advocates who can represent you, and access to the very best Barristers as well.
