Crime

She is valued by solicitors for her client care and hands-on approach to cases and is highly regarded for her sensitive approach to cases involving vulnerable defendants.

She has appeared at appellate level in a wide range of cases both in relation to conviction and sentence. Tania accepts instructions directly from members of the public (Public Access) in all non-legally aided work.
