Criminal defence solicitor
"Our collective freedom..depends on our ability to defend the rights of others" Walter Mosley
Profile
I have worked in criminal defence for over 20 years and qualified as a solicitor in 2008.
I was a partner of a law firm in London in 2018, and moved on to work as a consultant solicitor.
I have defended hundreds of clients with a particular expertise in preparing trials.
I prepare cases meticulously which has led to a track record of success in defending clients charged with the most serious of crimes. This is why I am first choice for those seeking the best outcome in their situation.
I believe attending scenes of crimes, instructing experts, looking at cases from all angles and preparing clients for court (results in the best outcomes).
“success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is pure failure”.
I analyse case papers by highlighting the weaknesses and inconsistencies in the CPS case. I am renowned for outstanding client care due to my down to earth approach and am regularly referred cases by my loyal client following and fellow lawyers.

About
I am a passionate solicitor who specialises in criminal defence law.
Anyone at any point in time could find themselves in need of legal representation, this can understandably be an overwhelming time especially for someone who may not fully understand the legal process and what their rights are. I believe everyone should be given a right to a fair trial and fight for my clients to ensure they get this.
I have represented clients charged with a variety of different offences, ranging from drug possession to conspiracy to murder. With each client I take the time to make sure they understand what they are charged with and the evidence that the CPS is relying on, this is particularly important as it can be read or spoken at any potential trial. I believe in selecting the right barristers for the right client and the right case as each is different and one size does not fit all.
Selecting the "A team" as I call it is critical in achieving the best outcome for the client.
I am a positive person who sees the glass full, I like to see the best in people and believe there is a silver lining to most situations in life. I believe my personality enables clients and their families to feel comfortable enough to open up their lives in what can be a very stressful situation. Trust is imperative in a successful working relationship.
When I am asked to represent a client, I take that responsibility very seriously. One of my client’s once said “with you next to me I feel like I can take on the world”. I am a ferocious solicitor who will fight for my client’s rights and until the end.
