I specialise in all areas of Criminal Law, in addition to Traffic Law, Coronial Law, Mental Health Law and Regulatory Law matters.
Since being called to the Bar in 2018, I have represented clients charged with various state and Commonwealth offences, in Local, Children’s, District and Supreme Courts in NSW, including traffic and street crime offences, serious assaults (including sexual assaults), property offences, white collar crime, organised crimes, terrorism offences, drug supply/importation offences and murder.
This representation generally consists of appearing in jury trials, summary hearings and sentence hearings. However, I also appear in Crime Commission proceedings (including compulsory examinations and asset forfeiture applications), bail applications (including Supreme Court bail applications), annulment applications, sentence and conviction appeals from the Local Court, mental health diversion applications, return of property in police custody applications, and Apprehended Violence Order applications (both personal and domestic violence related).
Prior to becoming a barrister, I worked as a Police Prosecutor for seven years (the last two years of which as a Senior Advocate), where I appeared as an advocate in various Local and Children’s Courts throughout Metropolitan Sydney and regional NSW.
As one of the five Senior Advocates for the NSW Police Force, being the most senior Police Prosecutor role, I was responsible for appearing as the lead prosecutor in high-profile and complex summary prosecutions.
Prior to being appointed a police prosecutor, I was an operational police officer for seven years. After a short period in general duties, I spent the next five and a half years investigating serious crime as a detective with the NSW Police Force, initially as a general investigator, investigating crimes ranging from street crime to murder, before specialising in serial armed robbery investigations.
It is from this wealth of experience in the Criminal Justice System that I am able to effectively and persuasively represent my clients and achieve the best possible outcomes available.
