Areas of Practice

My common law practice covers crime and general civil.

Prosecution Experience

I primarily appear in the Crown Court and have prosecuted for the CPS a range of offences including causing bodily harm by wanton and furious driving, possession of an offensive weapon/bladed article, making and distributing indecent images, assaults against the person (ss.47, 20 and 18), threats to kill, possession of drugs with intent to supply, offences contrary to the theft and fraud acts and bomb hoaxes.

I have also prosecuted in both the adult and youth Magistrates’ courts, including offences under the Environmental Protection Act and Chiropractors Act.

I regularly prosecute for the Probation Service and G4S and am experienced at dealing with POCA applications.

Defence Experience

I accept instructions for both publicly funded and private clients in the Crown and Magistrates’ courts. I have successfully defended at trial numerous clients across the breadth of the criminal law, including for dangerous driving (see case profile), and have successfully undertaken appeals to the Crown Court.

I have experience at dealing with matters under the Proceeds of Crime Act, offences of outraging public decency, sexual assault, inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, breach of ASBO, robbery (whilst in possession of an imitation firearm) and representing clients at Parole Board hearings. I frequently receive instructions on road traffic cases.

Civil Law Experience

My general civil practice is focussed on personal injury and road traffic work. I appear across the range of tracks in the County Court and provide advices across a range of areas.
