Master strategist and tactician, Howard Godfrey KC [formerly QC] is renowned as one of the UK’s best criminal defence barristers.
Howard’s reputation and vast experience as an advocate par excellence, spanning over 40 years, and over 20 as a KC [QC] – is both national and international. He has defended clients charged with both serious and less serious crimes – including: appeals, murder, manslaughter, tax and company fraud, money laundering, drugs, and disciplinary tribunal cases.
Howard’s standing as one of the UK’s very best criminal barristers stems not simply from his knowledge of the law but from his cross-examination skills and the power of his jury advocacy. As Howard himself says: “The judge rules on the law, but it is the jurors who decide my clients’ fate.”
