An emotional message from a grateful client who was found innocent

 My client was in tears after hearing the jury return a not guilty verdict.  She had waited four years for her trial and I am so pleased to have secured her acquittal. Her gratitude reminds me why I am a criminal defence lawyer and it is a privilege to sometimes have such a profound influence on someone’s life.
