This means that Garratts is one of a very limited number of firms authorised to advise and assist anyone arrested for a criminal offence across Greater Manchester, and who needs a specialist Criminal Duty Solicitor.
Over 1000 applications were made, across the country, for one of only 572 contracts, nationally. The award of a contract to Garratts, acknowledges over 30 years of us providing criminal law services and reinforces our strong commitment to assisting all those who face the challenges of the criminal justice system.
Tim Hopley, head of Garratts Criminal Law Team said :  "By awarding a Duty Contract to Garratts, this is a recognition by the LAA of our long established, quality service provided to all our clients.  It gives us an opportunity to provide our specialist, and dedicated service to a greater number of people under the terms of the new Contract, and we are looking forward to the challenges which this award will bring".
