Being charged with a criminal offence is a frightening experience. You need someone on your side who understands the law, police and court procedures and can bring a sense of security and peace back into your life.

Contact me about your case

“Where do I start……. unfortunately I got myself into a situation where I found myself in court, I had previously instructed another Barrister but after being left feeling very uneasy I had TQ recommended to me and I have never looked back. TQ was amazing from the day I instructed him, he answered any questions I had and would always put my mind at rest. My case was a drawn out and complex but TQ broke it down and dealt with it accordingly.
My day in court was an uncomfortable one for me as you can imagine but TQ smashed it and got the best outcome possible. TQ I can not thank you enough.”

Most of my clients have never dealt with the criminal legal system before. With your reputation on the line and possibly your liberty at stake, you must not delay contacting me. The sooner we talk, the quicker I can help you.

Serious and general crime FAQs

Will I go to prison if I am convicted of a crime?

This depends on many factors, including the type of crime you have been convicted of, whether or not it is your first offence, and if you pleaded guilty in the early stages.

Most crimes are governed by Sentencing Guidelines, which provide a starting point for the Sentencing Judge based on the Defendant’s culpability and the offence’s seriousness. The Guidelines offer aggravating and mitigating factors that the Judge can use to increase or decrease the sentence as they see fit.

I have extensive experience in sentencing and will advise you from the beginning of your trial on the best strategy to achieve a minimal sentence.

Can I defend myself in a criminal trial?

Although it is highly unusual, you can defend yourself; however, you are unlikely to get as good a result as you would with an experienced Criminal Law Barrister defending you. The Courts do not provide leniency for those who defend themselves, and most find Court processes and procedures overwhelming and confusing. Investing in the advice and representation of an experienced Barrister will give you a much better chance of being acquitted or receiving a lesser sentence.
