Pre-Hearing Case Reviews

Real Insight Before Court — Assessments by Active Magistrates

What We Offer

We provide independent pre-hearing case reviews, offering clear, unbiased insight from the perspective of experienced, currently sitting UK magistrates.

Each review delivers a considered opinion on the strengths and weaknesses of your case, suggestions for improvement, and a realistic sense of how the bench is likely to view it — including the kind of sentence you may receive. Whether you're a defendant or a legal representative, we aim to help you prepare with clarity and confidence.

You’ll receive a structured, experience-based assessment you can trust — written by the very people who hear cases in court.

Who We Are

Magistrate Review was founded by sitting magistrates with first-hand experience of criminal court proceedings. We created this service to bridge the gap between legal representation and lived judicial perspective — offering individuals and legal teams insight into how a case may be viewed from the bench.

Our team brings years of real-world UK judicial experience, offering an impartial, structured opinion grounded in courtroom reality. We are independent, non-legal professionals who understand the pressures of court and believe in clarity, fairness, and preparation for all.
