CJS Defence Ltd was founded by Chris Stevens. After qualifying as  a solicitor in 2005, Chris spent
18 years working for some of the UK’s leading criminal defence firms.

He established CJS Defence as a boutique law practice in 2021, inspired by an ambition to provide a more personal client-led service.

Chris has experience across the full spectrum of criminal offences and extradition requests, having defended clients facing allegations of Murder, Rape, Serious Fraud, Money Laundering, GBH, ABH, Theft, Common Assault and Driving Offences. 

Chris has represented high-net-worth individuals, politically exposed persons, professionals facing career ruin, and the vulnerable. He is sympathetic and understanding of the varied needs of his clients, direct and honest in his advice, and leaves no stone unturned to achieve the best outcomes. 

The benefit of instructing CJS Defence is that you will obtain an expert bespoke service at a competitive cost, and you will deal directly with Chris throughout the whole process.

Transparency, accountability, accessibility.
