He is pro-active in managing his caseload and is able to provide early advice on charge, evidence and/or sentence. Dan is also happy to hold conferences at any stage of proceedings, with lay and professional clients alike, in person or electronically.

In addition to his defence practice, Dan is a CPS Grade 3 prosecutor and on the Rape and Serious Sexual Offences (“RASSO”) list.
