Profile description

Criminal and regulatory law

As a former specialist criminal practitioner I also have extensive experience of dealing with matters involving all facets of criminal law. I have specialist knowledge on technical defences in all areas of motoring law (predominantly drink driving or drunk in charge) and was in charge of running cases from inception to conclusion including instructing experts, drafting skeleton arguments and arguing technical legal arguments before the Bench.

I defend all manner of criminal offences and have built up a raft of experience in the following matters:

  • Violent offences such as s.18 (including baby shakings), s.20, ABH and domestic violence
  • All types of Public Order offences, including serious cases of Affray
  • Dishonesty offences including simple thefts, Burglary and Robbery.  Varying degrees and types of benefit fraud
  • Arson, both reckless and intentional
  • Sexual offences – Rape (including in a domestic setting) and the management/control of brothels and related offences, historic sex cases
  • Drug offences including supply, conspiracy to supply, production and simple possession.
  • Kidnap
  • Dangerous Dogs offences including high profile cases involving the death of a baby
  • Health & Safety offences

I have also been instructed to deal with specific matters including PII, POCA, Abuse of Process and Appeals to the Court of Appeal. Previously, I have also had experience in Court Martial work at the Colchester Military Training Centre defending the usual criminal matters and serious matters of AWOL and desertion. I am also well versed in Prison Law and have attended adjudications and Parole Board hearings on a number of occasions.

Civil law

I am a tenacious litigation lawyer, providing advice and representation on all areas of dispute in litigation from contract disputes; unpaid loans; insolvency and bankruptcy, neighbour disputes; employment disputes; restrictive covenants; landlord & tenant issues; consumer issues; medical negligence; personal injury; as well as drafting settlement agreements, contracts, policies and any business documents. 

Areas of practice:

  • Contract Law
  • Business Law
  • Debt Recovery
  • Employment Law including Settlement Agreements
  • Landlord& Tenant Law
  • General Civil Law
  • Consumer Law
  • Wills including Trust Deeds
  • Lasting Power of Attorney

Mental health

I developed a particular interest in Mental Health and the justice system dealing with fitness to plead, fitness to stand trial and of course all disposals under the Mental Health Act. Since its introduction I have also had cause to handle a number of cases involving an Intermediary for both Defendants and witnesses in the Youth Court.
