About

I enjoy working with people to help them through the sticky legal situations that they have found themselves in. I have 30+ years of experience in the legal system and have seen almost every different situation imaginable in my career. It is important to have empathy and compassion in the legal system. I take on cases that others won't as I believe everybody deserves to be defended no matter what they have done and it is important to treat all cases with respect in order for our justice system to work.

Specialisms: I defend Serious and Complex Crime cases, all types of Serious Fraud including; Investment, mortgagee, company, credit card, beneficiary, online etc. Other areas I specialise in include Corruption, Financial and Drug conspiracy, Organised Criminal groups, Proceeds of crime. I cover all serious criminal crimes against the person and property as well as Terrorism and Human Rights cases.

Due to my experience of working for the Serious Fraud Office and my wide knowledge of Fraud I also help those who have been defrauded with dealing with the other side of the coin. I assist them with their needs by advising them on what should happen and how to deal with their situation. NZ and International i.e Nigerian fraud situations.
