From my roots as a local lad from the sticks, I fought all the way to the bottom to become a criminal barrister and, in so doing, faced challenges that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Throughout my career, I have amassed a corpus of tales that will offend, surprise, and hopefully amuse in equal measure. This book is unapologetically rude and irreverent as it recounts my tumultuous journey through a busy London criminal law firm, mental health practice, police stations, magistrates courts, and the crown courts. It also visits the Court of Appeal and Old Bailey, whilst stopping to doff its cap to some of the most notorious and terrifying Judges of the land and does so without any affectation of superiority. At times, I question my moral judgment, the status of my own mental health, and tackle the commonly asked question: 'How do you represent somebody you know is guilty?'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have been working in the field of crime for 20 years.
