The Criminal Defence Service (CDS) in the UK guarantees that people under police investigation or facing criminal charges can get legal advice and representation.

By ensuring that people accused of crimes have access to legal advice and representation, the CDS also helps the police and courts operate fairly and efficiently. Criminal legal aid can offer: * advice and assistance from a solicitor on criminal matters * free legal advice from a solicitor at the police station during questioning * the cost of a solicitor preparing a case and initial representation for certain proceedings at a magistrates' or Crown court * full legal representation for defence in criminal cases at all court levels * a duty solicitor to provide free legal advice and representation at magistrates' court. It is run by the Legal Services Commission (LSC) in partnership with criminal defence lawyers and representatives.

All this info was basically taken from this website http://www.legalservices.gov.uk/criminal.asp

note: this is for applicable to the UK only
