PRACTICE AREA
Criminal Law
Defence from investigation through trial and appeal, with close attention to procedural legality, the nature of the evidence and defence rights.
Defence begins with procedure as much as with the facts.
A criminal matter is assessed on two connected levels: what the facts establish, and whether evidence and procedure have been handled within the proper legal framework. The defence is then built around the issues that genuinely affect the case.

- Detention and release matters
- Review of search, seizure and investigative procedures
