Criminal Damage Solicitors in Coventry
If you are facing allegations of criminal damage, turn to Askews Legal LLP for clear, professional representation. We act for clients across Coventry and Warwickshire accused of damaging or destroying property—whether personal, public, or commercial.

What Is Criminal Damage?
This offence is charged under the Criminal Damage Act 1971 and can include graffiti, smashing windows, damaging vehicles, or arson-related property damage. Penalties vary based on the severity and whether the act was intentional or reckless.
Our team will examine the context of the incident, assess the evidence (including CCTV or witness accounts), and build a tailored defence. In some cases, we may be able to challenge intent or negotiate an out-of-court resolution.

How do I know Askews Legal LLP is a reputable, talented law firm?
Our claims of excellent client service and best in class legal advice and representation are supported by our investment in legal accreditations, exceptional client reviews, and case studies. We are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and hold a Lexcel accreditation from the Law Society of England and Wales, which demonstrates our commitment to client care, meticulous case management, the continual growth and development of our staff, and investment in technology.
Can you take on my case?
We serve clients based in Rugby and across Warwickshire and Coventry. For certain legal matters, we can offer a free 30-minute consultation to new clients. This helps us establish whether or not your case is something we can advise and represent you on. We have a professional duty to be scrupulously honest, meaning you can trust that if we feel pursuing legal action is not in your best interests, we will tell you so. Furthermore, if we do not have the expertise to take on your case or there is a conflict of interest, we will refer you to another law firm.
How much do your services cost?
All SRA regulated law firms are required to be open and transparent about pricing. For some legal matters, such as conveyancing transactions, we can offer a Fixed Fee. Please view our Fees Page for information about our pricing.
