Here goes....
Welcome to my new blog. This is my first ever effort at blogging and even though I am already typing I don't really know what I am going to be talking about in this first post. So I guess I'll just tell you a little about myself and what I do. I am 31-years-old and I work in east London, Hackney to be exact. I work for a small two-partner firm of solicitors specialising in crime. Although we call ourselves criminal defence specialists, in fact the firm does more than just defence. Others in the firm also carry out a lot of appeal and prison law work. For those who aren't familiar with prison law, it encompasses everything from a prisoner who has broken the rules and is facing disciplinary proceedings to those serving life sentences who are looking to be release on appeal. Anyway, this post isn't supposed to be about the firm it's about me and what I do. I am a duty solicitor, so if a suspect is arrested and wants "the duty" I am one of the luck...
