Alexander Johnson was formed in 1974 and since then has developed a specialisation in Criminal Law.

Alexander Johnson specialises in all aspects of Criminal Law from Terrorism and Murder to low level motoring and Road Traffic offences. In addition to general crime the firm has specialist knowledge and experience in Confiscation, Criminal Review Commission cases, general Appeals and Prison Law. We have a Legal Aid contract with the Legal Aid Agency to undertake work in all these areas of crime.

We undertake work on a private basis and under Legal Aid. Where possible we will try to ensure that where you are eligible (both financially and under the justice eligibility test) that we will undertake the work under the Legal Aid Scheme. There is no difference between the quality of representation under Legal Aid and private funding. In addition, the experience of the Solicitor, Barrister, and any experts we instruct in your case are the same.

The firm was formed in 1974 and in 1997 the firm became a member of the Specialist Fraud Panel which was then set up by the Legal Services Commission. This firm was one of the first firms on the Panel. The Specialist Fraud Panel is a panel of firms with proven relevant expertise over several years in the area of serious Fraud which justifies being on the Panel. It requires a firm to have undertaken a substantial amount of Fraud work and what is colloquially known as 'White Collar Crime'. 

The firm is based in East London between Liverpool Street and  Bethnal Green and provides not only expert advice but, if appropriate, a free consultation with all clients and in relation to all offences. We provide free legal advice and representation at all Police Stations and our office is only 5 minutes from Bethnal Green Police Station and 10 minutes from Bishopsgate and Stoke Newington Police Station. The firm also has available conference rooms in Docklands (next to Docklands Arena) and in Central London.

All large/serious cases are undertaken by a Solicitor of at least 10 years qualification and will be assisted by Counsel, a Paralegal and full-time secretarial support. Our team is able to offer a seamless in-house service from arrest to conclusion at Court . The same Solicitor will retain conduct of the case from the start to its conclusion and the Solicitor with conduct of the case will always be the contact point for any client. Alexander Johnson is committed to providing clients with a first class service and offer expertise across the full range of criminal matters.

Please feel free to contact us to discuss your case and to seek early advice.
