  I appear daily, and usually for multiple clients, in Courts across the Sydney metropolitan area and rural New South Wales. I conduct Local and District Court sentences, section 32 applications, defended hearings, contested facts hearings and bail applications including show cause offences. I work autonomously, maintaining a large and varied criminal practice.
