Imad Akhtar

Accredited Police Station Representative

Imad Akhtar is an Accredited Police Station Representative at Tyler Hoffman
Solicitors, providing specialist advice and representation to clients at police stations
during the earliest stages of criminal investigations.

Imad plays a vital role in safeguarding the rights of individuals who have been
arrested or invited to attend a voluntary police interview. He provides clear, practical,
and strategic advice to clients in custody, ensuring they fully understand the
allegations they face, the evidence disclosed by the police, and the legal options
available to them before any interview takes place.
As part of his role, Imad carefully reviews disclosure provided by the police and
advises clients on the most appropriate interview strategy, including when it may be
in a client’s best interests to exercise their right to silence. He attends police
interviews to ensure that questioning is conducted fairly and in accordance with the
Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE), intervening where necessary to protect
the rights and interests of his clients.
Imad also makes representations to investigating officers in relation to bail,
detention, and further investigative steps. His involvement at this critical early stage
of the criminal justice process helps ensure that clients receive effective legal advice
and that their position is properly protected from the outset of the investigation.
He works closely with the firm’s solicitors to ensure that all relevant information
obtained during police station attendance is recorded and prepared for the
progression of the case, whether it proceeds to further investigation, charging
decisions, or court proceedings.
Known for his calm and professional approach, Imad is committed to ensuring that
every client receives fair treatment, clear advice, and strong legal support during
what can often be a stressful and uncertain stage of the criminal process. His work
forms an essential part of Tyler Hoffman Solicitors’ commitment to providing robust
and effective criminal defence representation from the earliest point of contact with
the criminal justice system.
