Miles Herman is a clever, understated lawyer who is at the top of his game.
Our specialist youth crime lawyers deal with every type offence (violence, drugs, firearms, sexual allegations, Public Order Act, murder, gang-related crime) and represent young people who have become embroiled with the criminal justice system through the whole process from arrest, police station interviews, caution, to the Youth Court and, in the most serious cases, the Crown Court.
We are available 24/7 and work nationally (fee levels permitting).
The whole criminal justice process, though designed on the whole to rehabilitate the young person, is frightening, intimidating and confusing. It is our job to guide the young person (who could be as young as 10 years old), and his or her guardian or parents, gently and patiently all through the system, ensuring the best outcome possible.
Because of the emphasis upon rehabilitation, there are often many opportunities to divert the young client away from the criminal justice system and we would exploit every opportunity to achieve this.
It is also our job to identify the juvenile defendant who has special needs and requirements, for example those who have educational, mental health or language issues, and we instruct the most appropriate experts in those fields to assist.
We would also work closely with the young person’s school (if appropriate) and the relevant community services available.
The last thing that anybody wants is for a youngster to have a conviction that could prejudice his or her employment or further education opportunity.

Richard McConnell carried out conveyance for my family on 4 London flats, 1 sale and 3 purchases. In each instance he was excellent. The attention to detail and communication throughout the process was perfect. I have recommended Richard to several family members and friends who have been extremely pleased. I would have no hesitation in using Richard McConnell and Lewis Nedas in the future should the need arise.
I wanted to take the opportunity as well to thank you for everything that you have done on this case. The result that we got on Monday will have a massive positive impact not only on my life but the lives of all my family including that of my own son. I personally was struggling to hold back the tears when the sentence was being delivered by the judge and I know my father and sister felt the same too. It must be fantastic to work in a way that can have such a positive impact on people’s lives and I want you to know how much it all means to us all. Thanks a million and good luck with all that you do going forward.
Lewis Nedas advised me in a serious case of insider dealing. The lead solicitor dealing with my case was Jeffrey Lewis, who impressed me with his quick grasp of the very complex circumstances. His in-depth knowledge of how the City really works and his long experience of serious financial crime gave me great confidence. But it was also his friendly and supportive attitude, and readiness to take calls (or return them promptly if he was in court) which was very reassuring. I was delighted with the positive result of the case, and the speed and efficiency with which it was handled.
