We asked Andrea: Q: What can clients expect from you? Q: Why did you choose to specialise in this area? Q: What aspect of this area of law do you find most interesting? Q: Do you have any hobbies?
A: Absolute commitment to getting them the best result.
A: I wanted to help people who have found themselves in difficult circumstances, be that being detained at the police station or requiring representation at the magistrates court. I like how varied the work is, as well as meeting people from a wide range of backgrounds.
A: I enjoy the constant intellectual challenges that arise within this area of law. Each case is different and you very rarely know what you will be dealing with in advance.
A: I love history! I’ve written two books on local history and I’ve also contributed chapters to two First World War collections that were published by Pen and Sword.
