He was formerly a duty solicitor and trial advocate and has an extensive knowledge of the criminal justice system. Representing clients in Police PACE interviews, Tom guides them through the police investigation process, and his experience and grasp of interview strategy regularly assists clients to avoid prosecution. Tom has a successful track-record working alongside clients achieving acquittals for their customer, and also positive outcomes in several other cases where a guilty plea was advised, and a custodial sentence avoided.

Tom recognises the importance of working with civil lawyers and ensuring that the criminal and civil cases dovetail and the strategy is aligned.
