Justine Dexter
What I do
I qualified as a solicitor in 1999, having completed my articles in a general high street practice. I joined the Smith partnership in 2004, working in the criminal department as an assistant solicitor. I have over twenty years’ experience in criminal law dealing with cases from the initial police station investigation through court proceedings in both the Magistrates and Crown court. My main area of work and expertise is dealing with cases in the magistrates court where I appear regularly.
What I bring to the team
I am well organised, hardworking and completely focused in obtaining the best possible outcome for each individual client.
Key interests
Away from work I enjoy spending time with my family, socialising and supporting DCFC.

Client, Crime
I would like to thank you very much for your thorough research of my case and for your impassioned pleas in mitigation of the circumstances relating to the unfortunate RTA in February, which the Magistrates obviously took on board when deliberating their thoughts regarding the punishments that should be handed down to me. Following your advice after we left the court room, I have notified my motor insurers of the outcomes and await any subsequent response from them. I look forward to receiving your letter in due course and wish you all the very best for your future.

David Cusack and Justine Dexter have been involved in a case for me recently. They both offered great advice, and showed tenacity in getting the outcome I hoped. Communication was easy and I was kept up to date throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again if required.
Client, Crime
We can't thank Justine enough for stepping in to help when we needed it. You're a legend! Massive thanks.
Client, Crime
We recently had cause to engage Justine Dexter in a serious and sensitive driving incident involving my stepson. She was able to evaluate our position in one phone call, calmly and supportively reassure myself and stepson of most likely outcomes which helped enormously. Justine then clearly outlined next steps (all which went exactly as she'd predicted) and within three weeks we were 'the other side' of the incident, its impact and have been able to get a life back in order (and take the positives from a horrible incident). we can't rate her highly enough in her knowledge, professionalism - and human touch.
