Marie accepts instructions in criminal cases in London, the South East, Birmingham and the Midlands.  She both prosecutes and defends and has appeared in the Criminal division of the Court of Appeal on several occasions.  Marie also accepts instructions in Prison Law and Mental Health Tribunals. Marie is proud to work within the publicly funded Bar and to accept instructions in legal aid cases.

Marie is popular with lay clients and solicitors alike.  Marie prides herself on her ability to provide clients with sensible, well-reasoned advice in a manner that puts clients at ease and engenders trust. Marie is experienced in representing clients with severe mental health problems and other vulnerabilities.  Equally, she is experienced in dealing with sensitive and vulnerable witnesses including young children and complainants in cases of a sexual nature.  Recently, Marie has represented Defendants in serious criminal matters including Rape, Conspiracy to Supply Class A drugs, Sexual assaults on Children, Wounding, Revenge porn, Fraud, Armed Robbery and in Confiscation proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act.  Recent prosecutions include Sexual Assault, Conspiracy to commit Fraud by False Representation, Robbery and Burglary matters.

In court, Marie uses her knowledge as a former crown court clerk to her advantage; she has a detailed knowledge of criminal procedure and a keen eye for detail which is particularly helpful in Proceeds of Crime Act proceedings.  As a jury advocate, Marie establishes a rapport with juries through her measured and calm approach – she argues robustly on behalf of clients without losing the sympathy of her tribunal.  She does not shy away from legal argument and presents both written and oral advocacy with confidence.  The Court of Appeal has praised her for her “helpful and succinct argument” and persuasiveness.

Marie was the first member of her family to attend university; she feels strongly about social mobility and improving access to the Bar and plays an integral role within our Pupillage and New Tenants Committee and speaking at events organised by the Inns and law schools to encourage young people of all backgrounds to consider a career at the Bar.  Marie is a member of the Criminal Bar Association’s Social Mobility Committee.

Notable Cases

The Court of Appeal gave guidance for the first time on the correct approach to travel restriction orders and held that the indefinite order was not justified and was not appropriate.  Term of the order reduced to 3 years.
  • R v Hall (Alan Wayne) [2015] EWCA Crim 116: Marie appeared for the Appellant who had not attended his final hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act although he was represeted.
