Professional Highlight

On a case Matt used the evidence of the Crown’s own expert witness to persuade the CPS to concede that our appeal of a drink driving conviction should be allowed. This meant that my client, having been convicted in the Magistrate’s Court, was acquitted by the Crown Court Judge, without any evidence being heard.

Hobbies/Interest

Matt enjoys literature and cinema and has a lifelong passion for all things Italian. He hopes that on balance, his participation in competitive sport outweighs his love of good food.
