Excellent Sentencing Success for Danny Barnard’s Client
May 1, 2012
Danny Barnard (who is one of our superb in-house advocates) secured an excellent result for his client at The Central Criminal Court.
Our client had stolen £30,000 of Tiffany jewellery from an unlocked van in Hatton Garden. He had previous convictions for dishonesty, but pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity and as a result of Danny’s keen advocacy skills he was able to persuade the Sentencing Judge to initially defer the sentence and then to impose a two year community penalty.
Our client was delighted.
Yet another Acquittal for Lewis Nedas!
April 19, 2012
Siobhain Egan acted for a man who was one of three defendants facing trial at Ipswich Crown Court concerning commercial cultivation of cannabis on a very large-scale cannabis farm in Suffolk. Our client raised duress, stating that he had been coerced to become involved because of serious threats to his safety. His two co-defendants, who were represented by other solicitors, pleaded guilty and our client was unanimously acquitted by the jury.
The brilliant Übermeister tactician Barry Gilbert of 2 Bedford Row was trial counsel.
