  • About Me

I represent clients in serious and complex criminal proceedings in the Crown Court Criminal Defence, managing my own caseload under the supervision of senior solicitors. I provide end-to-end case management, including taking comprehensive instructions, preparing defence strategies, briefing counsel, and ensuring clients are fully supported throughout the litigation process.

My work spans a broad range of offences, covering violent crime, sexual offences, drug conspiracies, firearms, and sexual offences. I am experienced in navigating the demands of high-stakes cases, maintaining a meticulous and proactive approach to case preparation and client care.

I also have experience in Civil Litigation where I worked in an range of practice areas such as clinical negligence, personal injury, claims against public authorities and CICA claims.

I am currently completing the Solicitor Level 7 Degree Apprenticeship, combining rigorous academic training with full-time practice. My focus is on delivering a high standard of representation and building trusted relationships with clients facing the most serious allegations.
