Specialist Defence, Proactive Approach
Facing investigation or prosecution is daunting. With over 20 years of legal knowledge, you can be assured to receive a clear, proactive defence from police station to Crown Court.
How We Work
Criminal defence covers every stage of the justice process – from the moment police wish to speak with you, through to trial and, if necessary, appeal.
Our role is to ensure your side of the story is heard, your rights are respected, and the evidence against you is properly challenged.
You will work directly with an experienced legal professional, from the first call to the final verdict.
Driving offences
Drink/drug driving, speeding, tot‑ups, and disqualification – I fight to protect your licence and livelihood.
Drug offences
Possession, supply, cultivation, and conspiracy – I scrutinise police procedure and forensic evidence to build the strongest defence.
Violent crimes
Assault (ABH/GBH), affray, and homicide – I ensure your side of the story is heard, whether you're accused of a street fight or a domestic allegation.
Police Station Representation
24/7 attendance for voluntary interviews or arrest. Never attend alone – I ensure your rights are protected from the very first moment.
Youth Crimes
Representing young people (under 18) with discretion, focusing on rehabilitation and minimising long‑term impact.
Appeals
Challenging convictions or sentences in the Crown Court or Court of Appeal. I identify legal errors and fight for justice.
Inquests
Representing families or interested persons at coroner's inquests – particularly in cases involving state conduct or Article 2.
