ABOUT HARRY

Since completing pupillage in 2022, Harry has grown his practice in both Criminal and Family law with clients commending his effective advocacy and client care. His practice continues to grow with repeat instructions on Grade 2 prosecution cases.

Examples of Criminal Cases

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.

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 P [2023]

Defending in the Crown Court for possession with intent to supply class A cocaine. Harry represented the defendant in a county lines drug case, he advised the client as to a plea and mitigated for his client with the Court agreeing with his summation and sentencing the defendant in a lesser role of offending.

Examples of Family Cases

Harry’s practice includes Public and Private Family Law and he uses his approachability to ensure clients are informed, advised and considered throughout their proceedings. Harry has experience working with vulnerable clients and in cases involving serious allegations of child and client sexual abuse, domestic abuse, neglect, and controlling and coercive relationships.
