We also have appreciable expertise in Armed Robbery, Aggravated Burglary, Threats to Kill, Kidnap and False Imprisonment. We use our skills to distill and evaluate complex and multi-faceted evidence and create the strongest of cases whether prosecuting or defending.
We have a proven track record in handling cases that involve multi-handed gang-related violence, Riot, Violent Disorder, Affray and other public order offences,, organised crime offences and racially aggravated ‘hate crime’ offences. Cases of this nature often attract attention from the media which we have a wealth of experience in dealing with professionally.
Violent crime cases regularly involve the assessment of cell site analysis data and DNA evidence concerning the allegations. Several of our number have developed their skills analysing this kind of evidence over many years and can understand, present and effectively challenge it as the need may be.
Our dynamic and approachable team offer a non-judgemental service, whatever the charge. Our clients can have confidence that we have the professionalism to give advice and deliver advocacy to the highest standards in these, and all, cases.
