Specialisms & Experience

Chris deals routinely with all types of criminal case, from murder to motoring offences, including RSPCA prosecutions, benefit fraud, and courts-martial both in the UK and Germany.

A number of Chris’ cases have hit the headlines – he defended a young mother who escaped jail after leaving her children with a 15 year old babysitter whilst she went on holiday to Turkey; he represented a G.P. charged with serious sexual offences against his female patients; he has also had jail spared for a Hungarian cowboy who attacked his rural neighbours on horseback!

Chris has also had a number of cases reach the Law Reports including Court of Appeal decisions upon how a prisoner’s remand time should affect their release date, and a conviction for theft being overturned after the complainants failed to mention their own impending trial in another part of the country for insurance fraud.

Chris is a keen sports enthusiast, being the Chairman of local cricket club, and Captain of squash club.  He also plays golf and football.
