RECENT FEEDBACK
“Andrew was generous with his time and specialised knowledge from the first point of contact. He was full of empathy and extensively knowledgeable regarding all aspects of our complicated case. He guided us every step of the way and provided reassurance and realism to keep us grounded. He helped to achieve a suspended sentence for our son amidst a challenging and unusual set of circumstances.We are enormously grateful to have had such a professional barrister helping us and cannot recommend him highly enough.”
