An exemplary junior barrister who is consistently instructed in challenging and complex cases across the spectrum of general crime and fraud.

Houzla has substantial experience in cases alleging high-value frauds (e.g. boiler room frauds, conspiracy to defraud), large-scale drug conspiracies (importation and supply), serious violence and serious sexual offences.

She is known for her meticulous case preparation which, alongside her pragmatic and tactical approach to case strategy, means she has an established and thriving practice.

In recent years she has developed considerable skill in analysing and interpreting complex digital evidence, enabling her to form solid and persuasive legal arguments.

Houzla’s work on cases involving young and vulnerable people, including those with mental health illnesses, learning disabilities and those on the autism spectrum, is impressive. She has a natural ability to explain and communicate complex issues in a clear way.
