Backed by a dedicated Prison Law Administrator and experienced Clerks, the Team is equipped to handle Direct Access inquiries from Prisoners where appropriate and are also very experienced at working closely with Prisoner’s existing Solicitors to achieve speedy and effective resolution to cases.
Because Prisoners’ problems are often multi-disciplinary the Prison Law Team includes members of the Crime, Housing, Immigration and Family Teams within chambers. Whatever legal problems a prisoner may be experiencing, the chances are we can help.
The following group members are Direct Access qualified; Stephen Field, Sam Parham, Daniel Kingsley, Rebecca Martin, Terry Pedro and Ajanta Kaza.
