About My Work

I qualified as a solicitor in 2007 and joined Smith Partnership in 2012. I am a Partner in our Crime team in Derbyshire and have nearly 30 years' experience in all aspects of criminal law. My role is extremely varied and I advise and assist clients on a wide range of matters both at the police station and at court.

I head up the High Profile/Serious Crime Department, where I am assisted by Nick Wenden. Although I cover all areas of criminal law, my main focus is on serious and complex cases ranging from large scale conspiracies, drugs cases, rapes, murders, wounding, Proceeds of Crime and more. I attend on matters throughout the UK.

I am a workaholic and can frequently be found reading evidence, sending emails and speaking with clients outside of normal office hours.

Hobbies & Interests

My key interests are weight training, supporting Aston Villa and watching movies.
