Early intervention
The first hours matter most. We attend police stations 24 hours a day so that advice is in place before the first interview, not after it.

About us
Leaving no stone unturned.
LP Evans is a fresh, modern and dynamic law firm specialising in fraud and other serious crimes.
Based on Fleet Street, the practice was established in 2011 by Yaqub Hussain and Bill Evans.
In 2018, Bill decided to go back to the Bar and is now practising as a successful barrister at Millennium Chambers. Yaqub became the sole proprietor, assisted by a team who run the practice day to day — all of whom made their names at large London offices.
Our growth since our foundation is based upon referral and own-client work. We moved to period offices in the heart of legal London in 2012 and have continued to grow, adding several experienced fee earners to our ranks.
With a reputation for client care and fearlessly fighting their corner, we continue to go from strength to strength and now defend in many of the largest and most high-profile criminal cases nationally and internationally.
Where we act
Instructed nationally and internationally.
We represent clients all over the country — from the North East to the South West — as well as a number of clients based in Dubai and elsewhere in the Middle East. We are always willing to travel to meet clients at a convenient location.
We are regularly instructed to act for clients in relation to HMRC prosecutions, money laundering and cash seizures. We also specialise in representing those charged in the most serious criminal cases, including murder and large drug importations and conspiracies.
Our team of lawyers strikes the right balance between professional expertise and personal service.
How we work
Preparation wins cases.
The detail others skip — cell-site data, disclosure, hours of CCTV — is where the defence is usually found.
Forensic disclosure work
Cases are routinely won on what the prosecution has not served. We press for disclosure and analyse cell-site, downloads and surveillance line by line.
The right counsel
We instruct leading and junior counsel matched to the case, and work with them as one team from first instruction through to verdict and beyond.
Speak to a defence solicitor
The first hours of a case shape everything that follows.
Call us before you are interviewed. Advice at the police station is free, whatever your means — and our out-of-hours line is answered by a solicitor, day or night.
