Con provides quality representation and takes into consideration a client's means.  Clients are welcome to discuss easy payment options.  Where applicable, Con makes applications for legal costs against Police for payment of his fees.  This allows private fees or legal aid funds to be reimbursed to his clients and the Legal Services Commission.

We are proud of our track record of achieving favorable outcomes for our clients. Our team has successfully defended clients in high-profile cases and secured numerous dismissals, acquittals, and reduced charges.
