Tomas is our first choice of junior for serious crime, and he is instructed on effectively every major case we run. His attention to detail is exceptional. He reads a brief properly, spots the points others miss, and comes back with a clear view rather than a hedge. Preparation is where these cases are won or lost, and his is meticulous, so that by the time he is on his feet, he is fully across the papers and several moves ahead of the Crown. As an advocate, he is measured and persuasive, equally at home dismantling a witness in cross-examination and pitching mitigation to the right register for the tribunal. His negotiation with the prosecution is a particular strength: realistic, commercially minded, and consistently able to secure the right outcome for the client without overplaying a hand. He is also straightforward to deal with, responsive, and trusted by clients. I recommend him without reservation.
