We are also a specialist criminal defence firm.

Our Sundeep Bhatia has been practising criminal law since 1994 and has been a duty solicitor, both at court and at police station, until 2018, when he decided that it was no longer feasible to carry out  work, on that basis, due to rates of pay and conditions which made it no longer possible for him to continue to provide  the high standards or representation, that any client rightly expects and deserves.

Sundeep is able to offer that standard of service, but only to fee paying clients.

Sundeep is also a solicitor advocate with higher rights of audience in the Crown Court.

This means that he can carry out the same role , as a barrister, and can represent clients, as a defending advocate.

Over the years Sundeep has dealt with every kind of criminal case from drink drive to murder and including drugs offences, serious assaults and a very involved fraud case , involving the cracking of computer software.

Sundeep also has ample experience in representing clients for road traffic matters such as speeding, dangerous driving, driving with no insurance, driving with excess alcohol and driving whilst unfit.

He has saved the licences of many drivers, whose livelihoods depend on their being able to drive.
