I joined the practice in 2002 as a trainee and qualified as a solicitor in 2004 before becoming a Partner. I have earned a reputation as a confident advocate and was awarded the title of ‘Leeds Advocate of the Year’ in 2005. I handle the full range of criminal law matters and am a fully accredited Duty Solicitor for police station and magistrates’ court work. I also have Higher Rights of Audience (criminal) and am now extending my skills into the Crown Court. I have developed a strong presence in the Youth Court representing those under eighteen and in fact represented the then youngest person in England to be made subject to an Anti Social Behaviour Order. |

I am regularly instructed in a variety of criminal matters including complex and high profile cases such as conspiracy to murder, sexual offences and large scale drugs conspiracies.
