Direct Access Barrister
William McCarthy
Our goal is to provide optimal legal solutions and outcomes on a reasonable fixed fee basis. In 2015 my law firm was one of the first Barrister Law Firms to be established. That law firm enables me to provide you, the client, with a full legal service from beginning to end, including conducting litigation and instructing other experts to assist with your case. In short, unlike many barristers, we are able to provide most of the services of a solicitors' firm but with the added advantage that our costs tend to work out significantly cheaper and you have the benefit of instructing a barrister from beginning to end.
Having sat as a part-time district judge in the county court, I look at all cases from the perspective of the following question: 'how a judge look at it?'. That then informs what is the best and most cost effective route to achieving you goals.
Area of Law
Crime
I specialise in motoring offences and we travel the whole of England and Wales in order to represent clients. In particular, we focus on 'totting' cases and have a very high success rate in saving a client's licence from a 'totting up' ban.
Landlord and Tenant
We have a long established expertise in representing residential landlords and tenants in respect of possession proceedings.
What sort of work do I do?
Landlord and Tenant: I act for landlords and tenants in relation to residential tenancies. My firm offers an all-round litigation service whereby we will go on the court record for you where appropriate.
Motoring Offences: We particularly specialise in driving ban cases whereby the motorist is due to tot up to 12 points and is therefore liable to a minimum 6 month disqualification. We regularly persuade the Magistrates to allow the motorist to continue driving.
