About me

As a criminal barrister, I prosecuted cases in the Magistrates Court, Youth Court and Crown Court across England and Wales. In my spare time I create YouTube videos, and as founder of Lexstery I'm building the UK's first free online community of aspiring barristers.

Starting a career in law can be overwhelming — something I appreciate coming from a state school background with no legal contacts. Whatever your background, I can help you realise your aspirations.
