Work Experience
I have worked on a vast amount of criminal defence cases and 2022 has seen me join Waldrons, complete my Legal Practice Course, achieve distinction for my Master’s Degree from the University of Law and successfully complete my training contract. A busy year to say the least but my passion for criminal law has carried me through. The studying does not stop here as I’m currently undertaking my Police Station Accreditation to become a Police Station Representative, as well as working towards becoming a Duty Solicitor.
In October 2022, I began practicing as a qualified solicitor and have been representing clients in Magistrates Courts across the West Midlands.
