Crime

3TG Barristers

3TG Barristers is a ‘well-respected set’ with a core group of quality criminal barristers. John Femi-Ola KC recently represented Mark Gordon, accused alongside Constance Marten of the gross negligence manslaughter of their newborn child, found dead in a Brighton shed in 2023, the couple having been on the run for several months, ostensibly in order to keep the baby from being taken into care - both defendants were convicted of other charges but the jury could not reach a verdict on the charge of manslaughter. Tim Forte’s broad practice covers heavyweight murder, drugs, and terrorism cases. He is praised as ‘a great jury man’ as well as for his ’ability to absorb vast quantities of information, including evidence of a technical nature’.
