About Us

We focus on criminal proceedings which allows us to specialize.  We only deal with matters in the North Shore and Auckland District Courts.  This allows us to manage our calendar in a sensible way and helps us to be flexible with appointments and minimize any occasions where you have to wait us.  Being a sole barrister allows us to be flexible with the work that we take on and with fee arrangements.  It means that when you engage with us we will be the lawyers dealing with your matter and we will be the lawyers that are responsible for your matter.  We do also have a good network of colleagues that can assist us in emergencies so you won't be left stranded if something unexpected comes up.

​

​

Free initial consultation

​

The criminal court process and the process of choosing a lawyer can be very stressful when you are unsure about what the process is, how serious it is, what the likely outcome will be, how long it will take and how much it will cost.  So our first consultation is free where  we discuss all these issues and other questions you may have before deciding to proceed.
