Matt Ridler

Legal Director - Swansea and the South West

I am the Legal Director for Swansea and the South West within the Crime department at CJCH Solicitors. Operating primarily out of our Cardiff and Swansea offices, I am dedicated to delivering expert legal support to those navigating the complexities of the criminal justice system.

As a Duty Accredited Criminal Defence Solicitor, I provide robust representation for clients at both the Police Station and Magistrates’ Court. My extensive practice encompasses defending individuals against highly serious charges, including murder, serious assaults, serious sexual offences, fraud, and drug conspiracies.

Furthermore, my expertise extends to defending prosecutions brought by various regulatory bodies and agencies, such as Trading Standards, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), and the DVLA. I am also proud to hold CLAS Accreditation, which reflects my ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards of legal practice.

I understand that facing a criminal investigation is an immensely stressful experience. Therefore, I am fully committed to providing reliable, clear, and compassionate guidance, ensuring that your rights are vigorously protected at every stage of the legal process.

Matt Ridler from the Swansea office was absolutely incredible. From the first meeting to the conclusion I couldn’t have asked for more. Communication, knowledge, professionalism and mentality was second to none. Would 100% recommend CJCH but more importantly for me Matt Ridler. Thank you for all your help. Trustpilot 2026 Review
