My approach

Under Direct Access I can offer you the same legal services which a High Street Firm of Solicitors can provide to you in preparing your legal case from start to finish. As well as being able to appear for you in any Court or Tribunal.

THIS WILL GIVE YOU CONTINUITY FROM START TO FINISH AND ALLOW YOU TO HAVE DIRECT CONTACT WITH YOUR TRIAL BARRISTER

Whilst I can also save you at least 35% on your legal fees

I will always give a 20 minutes free initial consultation over Phone, Skype or Zoom.

About me

I was called to the Bar in 2000 - I am based in the North East between Durham and Newcastle. Most of my work in Courts is from Newcastle across to Carlisle then down the M6 to Liverpool and across to Manchester then back up to Leeds and York. I am willing to attend any Court in England or Wales if you meet my travel costs and of course if you only need written advice or help with paperwork on your case i can assist no matter where you are located. I am qualified to do Litigation which means i can deal with every aspect of your case from the very start to the end, or if you  wish i can be instructed only to attend hearings and you would then do all the preparation on your case yourself.
