Introduction I am a Barrister & Solicitor specialising in all areas of criminal law (including forfeiture of criminal proceeds and traffic matters) and declaratory civil litigation. Cases I have worked on have included allegations of sexual offending, arson, aggravated robbery, drug offending (including Class A for supply), violent crime and driving cases where death or injury resulted. In addition I have been involved in appellate cases at various levels and I am regularly retained in the capacity of a legal researcher to all corners of the profession.
I hold the notions of fairness, equality, pellucidity and justice in very high regard and of equal measure. Each concept is contingent upon one another in the work that I do as your lawyer. Outside of the office I am a keen skipper and a father to my four children. |

What inspired me to become a lawyer?
|
Despite attending law school later in life, from a young age I was regularly being told off for talking too much and answering back. The notion of getting paid for continuing what I loved to do meant that I never had to go to work.
The role of a lawyer is extremely important in society – in particular, the way in which a lawyer stands between the almighty state and the individual. A lawyer in that position goes a long way in remedying the power imbalance. Finally I wanted to practise law as a means of helping the people in our community – the ability to assist a fellow person in a time of need is extremely rewarding. |
How can you retain me to act for you? |
I am currently employed by Simpson & Co. Please feel free to make contact with me to discuss your circumstances. The first consultation is free from charge. If I can’t help you I will refer you to someone who can.
