We are experts at defending individuals and companies accused of complex criminal offences from murder, multimillion pound fraud and terrorism to a full array of criminal offences of a less serious nature.

We realise that every case is vitally important and anyone facing criminal allegations may feel anxious and overwhelmed, with over 30 years experience we aim to achieve the best possible result every time.
