Kevin has represented me over several years in a complex case. He has a tremendous knack of calming the fears that arise out of facing the threat of prosecution, without ever diminishing or downplaying the reality of the law and its consequences. He is utterly professional, and have I always found him to be very accessible and accommodating, despite his undoubtedly exceptional workload. He knew just the counsel to work with and had no problem in securing his services. Kevin is surrounded by a great team at Smiths Partnership, who provide excellent support when required. I am delighted I approached Kevin to take on my case and would have no hesitation in recommending him.
