Crime

Senior Associate Solicitor

I am an expert in criminal law and motoring offences with an emphasis on representing people in court and under investigation. We believe the best advice should be available from the outset – as a senior solicitor, I continue to provide advice in the police station as part of our 24-hour cover.  Anyone interviewed by the police while under arrest or attending voluntarily is entitled to free legal advice. Contact me for immediate specialist advice.

I have a particular interest in cases of domestic violence and sexual offences. The court often views a female solicitor questioning a ‘vulnerable person’ more favourably.

I have considerable experience representing very young defendants charged with serious offences. If required, I will work alongside parents or carers to ensure that the young person is actively involved in understanding the process and making decisions, which may affect their future.

Winning cases is often in the detail. I work hard, preparing a case and ensuring everything is covered.

I am a qualified duty solicitor, member of the Criminal Litigation Accreditation Scheme and supervisor.

I have specialised in criminal law since 1996. I trained in Glasgow and first qualified as a solicitor in Scotland. I have been a qualified solicitor in England & Wales since 2001.
