Criminal Law
I am a level 3 prosecutor and undertake both prosecution and defence work in Crown Courts across the North of England. I have experience of both prosecuting and defending complex cases involving significant case papers and complex issues.
I am often instructed in rape cases and have experience in dealing with vulnerable witnesses including children as young as 6years. I pride myself on client care and going the extra mile for my professional and lay clients.

Previous Experience
Upon completing my undergraduate degree I went to New Orleans where I undertook an internship with the Capital Post Conviction Project of Louisiana. During this time I was responsible for the investigation and preparation of court documentation for two of the office’s most notorious cases (A. Frank and M. Weary).
