WHAT OTHERS SAY
He is a seriously impressive advocate. I’ve just watched him in a trial and he is calm and confident.
Instructing Solicitor
Very impressed — particularly with how you cross-examined the witness in a sensitive, but still robust way.
Retired Circuit Judge
Great barrister, couldn’t fault him.

Sam practises in criminal law, prosecuting and defending in the Magistrates’ and Crown Courts. He appears in Crown Court trials and accepts instructions across a broad range of criminal and regulatory matters.
