Nicholas is a specialist criminal solicitor and Crown Court Advocate with substantial high-level experience in the criminal law arena. He has a meticulous eye for detail and a natural respect and warmth for the human at the heart of each case, with an aim to achieve the best outcome for his clients.
Nicholas’ background as a scientist explains much of his technical expertise. He qualified firstly as a barrister and later cross-qualified as a solicitor. Practicing in London at that time, Nicholas’ increasing specialism in complex work saw him join the expert niche criminal law team now at Stone King in 2012.
Nicholas has a particular depth of expertise in cases involving all alleged sexual offending from the least to the most serious. He has been involved in hundreds of such cases in recent years and is a leading expert in his field. Every case is different, but cases involving illegal imagery, vigilantes, undercover stings, contact offending and historic allegations are frequent instructions.
Nicholas' practice includes acting for neurodivergent clients and those with mental ill health, and the complex issues that can arise.
Nicholas conducts his advocacy in Crown Courts, the Court of Appeal and the High Court nationwide.
He is also one of a few specialist practitioners in shotgun and firearms licensing breaches and appeals.
When Nicholas isn’t working he is likely to either be out riding his motorbike, (avoiding his many DIY tasks), listening to his music collection or trying to find a quiet corner in his favourite coffee shop with a crossword and cake.
Nicholas has travelled widely in South East Asia and Europe.
M v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire, September 2021: Successfully applied to the Court for discharge of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) following successful completion of a community order and without breach of the notification requirements or the SHPO.
D v Chief Constable, June 2021. Our client had been made subject to the notification requirements for life following an extended sentence following conviction for indecent images some 10 years ago. A detailed application was completed and submitted to the Chief Constable. The Public Protection Unit agreed that he no longer posed a risk of harm and as a result the application was successful.
