Career

Daniel both prosecutes and defends in mainly serious, and often complex, cases. He is widely acknowledged as being an advocate who is able to identify, and address, the relevant issues in a clear and concise way. His courtroom presentation and style attracts him to, both, juries and professional tribunals.

His manner and knowledge instils confidence in his clients, and his handling of witnesses – particularly expert or those with vulnerabilities – is exceptional.

When defending, Daniel appears in the most serious of cases, instructed in his own right in allegations of attempted murder, rape and other serious sexual offences (often committed against children), large scale drugs conspiracies and financial crimes. He is also led in allegations of murder and other serious offences.

Daniel is a Grade 3 level prosecutor on the CPS Advocates Panel. He is regularly instructed by the Special Casework Unit, and prosecutes multi-handed cases concerning financial crime, wide-ranging and complex drugs conspiracies, serious violence and sexual offences.
