About
Provided by Shaw Graham Kersh
SGK advises and represents clients facing all types of criminal allegation and related professional/regulatory work.
Our clients range from professionals to so called ‘Organised Crime Group members’ and young children. They include regulars within the criminal justice system and those facing the process for the first time.
We rely on word of mouth referrals from former clients and from other lawyers. Our client care ethos extends to all our clients, whatever their background or experience, whatever the nature of the charge they face.
We welcome and are experienced in handling complex cases. We know that when you suddenly face the terrifying force of the state, there are no small cases.
Recent work includes:
- Representing a barrister facing contempt proceedings in the Court of Appeal related to the Operation Horizon Post Office Appeals;
- Defending alleged head of a County Lines Gang charged with supplying over 100kg of cocaine;
- A number of murder allegations, including gang homicides forming part of a series of widely reported tit-for-tat shootings/stabbings.
