Regulated by Guernsey Bar
Four practices handle criminal defence on the island — three private firms alongside the Guernsey Legal Aid Service, which runs the 24/7 Duty Advocate at police stations and courts. All operate from St Peter Port; the oldest dates to 2007, the newest reopened in January 2024. Three of the four pair criminal with family and children law. —
