If he is instructed you know that he will be perfectly prepared and will arrive with skeleton arguments, case summaries…. He is much respected by lay clients too and his easy-going but thorough style is appreciated by the judges he appears before…. His… accessibility by phone and email makes it so easy to work with him. A thoroughly excellent barrister” PG 2017
