Best KC-Led Direct Access Criminal Defence Barrister's Chambers – London & UK
With traditional barrister’s chambers where there can be up to a hundred barristers or even more, it can feel like the accused client’s needs, your needs, come second on the conveyor belt of work.
For us, direct access means just that – you will deal directly with us! You won’t end up being fobbed off with a legal secretary or a paralegal, or an assistant to an assistant because your assigned barrister is too “important” or high-and-mighty to talk to you.
And because we are a small boutique outfit, we can and do ensure that we completely tailor our services to every client’s needs. We promise that it will not feel like you’re being prevented access to the person who ultimately stand up in court to fight for you.

Either way, what that means is that on behalf of our clients, we are the most prepared that we can be when it comes to representing their interests in whichever tribunal or court we appear for them in – whether that’s the Court of Appeal, the Crown Court or the Magistrates Court.
And as anybody who knows who has had any involvement or dealing with the criminal justice system, preparation is the key to maximising the prospect of success. Always, at the centre of what we do, is you – the client.
No matter the charge, we understand that it may have potentially life-changing consequences. We pride ourselves on client satisfaction, because if our clients know that we have fought for them at every turn, they can live with the result.
Everything we do is focused upon ensuring that the client receives the best possible service. At the heart of every case is a person. We will listen to you and what you have to say. We believe that a deeper understanding of you and your situation allows us to provide the best advice and present a stronger defence.
