Although the majority of his cases involve sexual offences Andrew is also regularly instructed in murder and manslaughter, serious violence, firearms and drug trafficking trials. Andrew is frequently instructed in hearings involving vulnerable witnesses and/or defendants as he has developed considerable experience of the potential communication difficulties that arise and how best to fully engage with the client or witness. Andrew is known for his excellent client care, his eye for detail and his calm and organised approach to cases.
