Are you in arrears with your mortgage or rent?
Are you a landlord who needs to evict a bad tenant?
Are you worried about a Charging Order being placed on your property?
Are you facing eviction because of an Order for Sale?
Do you have a judgment which you want to secure against property?
You can instruct me as your Direct Access Barrister on an affordable, fixed fee basis and solve your property problem. I have over a decade of experience acting for major mortgage lenders as well as private and commercial landlords. You can have the benefit of that experience and skill by instructing me.
My approach
I am a skilled and experienced Barrister with a thorough knowledge of both law and procedure. Prior to joining the Bar, I worked as an advocate in civil law cases representing a wide range of clients, from individuals to FTSE 100 Companies. Now that I am a Barrister, my work includes contractual disputes and general debt recovery.
I am known for my tenacious but pragmatic approach to litigation, never losing sight of your objectives and am able to assess the best way forward at any stage. I appreciate that, in the current uncertain economic climate, costs are a key issue and I am able to give advice which reflects the reality of litigation whilst also being able to fight for your position in Court or during negotiations.
My work
I can assist, advise and represent you in any of the following matters whether you are a Claimant or a Defendant:
Landlord and Tenant Issues
Mortgage Repossessions
Orders for Sale
Charging Orders
Applications to Suspend Evictions
In addition to acting for you in the above matters, I am happy to advise and represent you for specific issues such as:
Applications to Set Aside Judgment
Applications to Strike Out
Applications for Relief from Sanctions
Summary Judgment
Disposal Hearings

Professional & academic
I have a Law degree from the University of Warwick and was Called to the Bar in 2008. I have been awarded two scholarships from the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple and was awarded the Western Circuit Advocacy Prize by the University of the West of England upon completion of the Bar exams.
Michael is also a fully qualified solicitor, although he only accepts instructions as a Barrister, and therefore is able to utilise the skills and training of both legal professions to ensure the best possible outcome for his clients.
