Adrian is an outstanding barrister; we cannot recommend him highly enough.Report
His knowledge of the law is encyclopaedic, this combined with his work ethic and attention to detail ensures that his advocacy in court is both to the point and persuasive. His written arguments are equally as impressive and fantastically detailed.
Whilst his intellect sets him apart from others he also has a wonderful manner with lay clients and their families, he really cares for them.
Put simply he is a pleasure to work with and we would not hesitate to instruct him again.
Adrian thrives in excellent practice and delivery in the private prosecution cases. He is incredibly knowledgable and thorough with his work and his attention to detail is second to none. Adrian was very friendly, professional and instilled confidence in me and the courts with his practical and expertise knowledge and great judgement. He provided insightful advice. I would definitely recommend his service!Report

Our family will be forever grateful to Adrian. If you are looking for a criminal QC, look no further.Report
We retained Adrian after a very bad experience with another legal team.
Our son was charged with an indictable offence and as you could imagine the strain on our family was unbearable, as we were in another country. We put our sons fate in the hands of Adrian and let me tell you, we are so glad we did.
Adrian guided us through the process, keeping us updated constantly, nothing was a trouble, emails, phone calls and video conferencing, which included us in the process.
Our sons trial went for 4 days. He received a unanimous verdict of “Not Guilty” within 5 minutes!
Adrian is an outstanding Criminal QC, he thinks fast on his feet, has every detail of the case locked in and ready to defend.
We as a family could never repay our thanks to Adrian and we will never forget the kindness and compassion he showed our son.
