Being charged with a criminal offence is daunting enough without having to think about who is going to represent you.  Marcus Croskell is an experienced advocate who is able to help you through every stage of the process including preparation and representation before any court.   He grew up in East Anglia and has a successful practice as a specialist criminal barrister regularly appearing in the magistrates’ court and crown court.  Marcus is qualified to advise and represent the public directly through the Public Access Scheme where there is no public funding certificate in place.  He will guide you through every aspect of any driving offence or other criminal matter.  You will be provided with a cost-effective service and will likely reduce what you need to pay by only having to instruct one lawyer.

              Why choose a barrister?

Barristers are skilled court advocates that are trained to advise clients on the merits of their case and if necessary, represent them at court.  Until recently, members of the public had to instruct a solicitor in the first instance for more general advice.  Historically, only solicitors were entitled to then seek the services of a specialist barrister.  That has all now changed; you can take control and choose to instruct a barrister directly.  This gives you a wider choice of representation and better value for money by avoiding duplication of work.

             How much will it cost?

Every case is different, but he would be more than happy to discuss the particular needs of your case and individual requirements.  In the current economic climate, legal aid is being restricted to an ever decreasing group of people.  You may find that in any event you do not wish to disclose your full financial position to the court and Legal Services Commission.  In all these instances, Marcus Croskell may be able to help you with a professional and cost effective service making your journey through the legal system as painless as possible.
