Now in his third decade of practice, he has successfully represented defendants in hundreds of trials involving the full range of criminal allegations—from violence and drugs to serious sexual offences and complex fraud.

 

Dom is a tactician. Every trial is prepared with the end goal in mind: persuading the jury. He builds cases carefully and patiently, always with a focus on the key moments of the trial—particularly the closing speech. His speeches are known for being powerful, dramatic, and persuasive. They capture the attention of juries, and often lead to the outcome every client wants: a verdict of not guilty.

 

He is well known and respected by judges across the circuit, particularly for his calm but forceful legal argument. Dom routinely makes persuasive submissions on law and procedure, always fighting to protect his client’s position.

 

Whether the case involves allegations of murder or sexual offences, to drug supply or dishonesty and public disorder, Dom brings the same level of skill, preparation and commitment. He believes that every case deserves expert handling, and every defendant deserves a strong voice in court—no matter the allegation.

 

Dominic works closely with solicitors in Nottingham, Derby and across the Midlands, who regularly instruct him in their most serious and sensitive cases. He is approachable, responsive, and works as part of a team with his instructing solicitors to achieve the best possible result.
