You are now able to access directly the services that a barrister is best known for: advice and representation.
We are able to give you frank and straightforward advice in conference if you are thinking about starting proceedings, or if you are worried that you may face proceedings.
We can also draft applications, statements, and documents for you to file at Court. We are able to ensure that your case is put forward in the best possible way.
We are experienced in all Courts, from the magistrates all the way up to the Court of Appeal, and we will represent you at any hearing nationwide.
