ABOUT HARRY

Since completing pupillage in 2022, Harry has grown his practice in Criminal law with clients commending his effective advocacy and client care. His practice continues to grow with repeat instructions in defence and prosecution cases.

Examples of Criminal Cases

R v DA [2026]

Prosecuting DA in the Crown Court for multiple offences of Making Indecent Images of Children. The Crown’s case relied on calling expert evidence and addressing technical evidence and facts. The Defendant was convicted of all offences after trial and sentenced accordingly.

R v H [2023]

Prosecuting H in the Crown Court for sexual offences. On Harry’s advice, the Crown amended the indictment so that a charge of arranging or facilitating child exploitation could be pursued. An offence to which the defendant pleaded guilty and was sentenced.

R v M [2022]

Prosecuting M in the Crown Court for intentional strangulation. In this matter the complainant was not supportive of the prosecution which led to evidential difficulties for the prosecution. Harry used the CCTV footage and witness evidence to add a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm in lieu of the intentional strangulation. The defendant pleaded guilty to the new offence and was sentenced accordingly.
