Recent Successes

Andrew had exceptional success at the Court of Appeal.

While representing a youth defendant, the appeal was allowed on the basis that the Crown Court Judge had failed to take proper account of the defendants age and vulnerabilities, agreeing with Mr Turnock’s submissions that the sentence imposed was manifestly excessive. The result?

The client’s custodial sentence was amended to a suspended sentence.
