Criminal Law
With a team that includes former Police Detectives, Prosecutors, and forensic experts, we provide accurate legal advice on the prospects of defending charges, likely sentences, and fully prepare our clients for court to achieve the best possible outcome.

Personal Injury
With a strong belief in social justice and a deep understanding of the financial and emotional stress that often accompanies personal injury, we regularly take on clients on a "no win-no fee" or "deferred payment" basis. This allows our clients to focus on recovering rather than worrying about legal fees.
