Michael McKeown

Practice Areas

Michael has truly worked his way up from bottom to top in the legal world, from working in the post room 20 years ago to being one of the most sought after criminal legal representatives in the country. He puts his meteoric rise down to many years of working with some of the best lawyers and barristers in the country, relentless hard work and accurate honest advice.

Specialising in complex telephonic, computer based and forensic lead cases both nationally and with an international element, his meticulous preparation and representation from the police station to conclusion of the case with a no nonsense approach to advice has driven his success in the field. Clients adore his approachable demeanor, tenacity and tactical astuteness in advice throughout the longevity of the case. Working closely with his superb in house team, leading barristers and experts on cases the length and breadth of the country, he is highly sought after and delivers consistent success.

To pigeonhole Michael’s work would be to undervalue it. He is able to turn his hand quickly to a case, identify the areas of concern to a client and provide robust advice accordingly in the most serious and complex cases. This ability has propelled him to the top of the profession. Michael is equally adept at dealing with suspects accused of being members of an organised crime group (OCG) or HNW individuals who wish to remain outside of the media spotlight.

Current and recent significant cases include conspiracy to murder, murder, conspiracy to import firearms, importation of drugs, conspiracy to supply, Encrochat conspiracies, conspiring to defraud the Ministry of defence, conspiracy to commit bribery and corruption at Government level among his many other cases.
