Although previously linked with VHS Fletchers as a consultant, we are pleased to announce that Chesterfield crime solicitor and protest law specialist Gavin Haigh is now an employed member of our criminal team.
Gavin prides himself on his meticulous attention to detail. His robust defence of clients on all matters makes him a formidable advocate and police station representative. Gavin is not shy to raise objections when required and forcefully protect his client’s rights at all times.
Specialist in Protest Law
Gavin has been a qualified solicitor and Duty Solicitor for 12 years and during that period he has has found a particular interest and specialism in the criminal law as it affects protests and marches.
This can involve advice on:
- the policing of university protests
- the policing of political protests
- advising on general animal welfare issues
- providing advice relating to environmental protests including recent advice relating to anti-fracking protests
Gavin has represented clients interviewed or charged as a result of their alleged activities including anti-fur demonstrations and hunt monitoring. This is an area of law where solicitors are instructed as a result of word of mouth and the trust that is built on previous client representation. As a result the continued instruction of Gavin is a ringing endorsement of his abilities.
Unique flexible appointments for our clients
Although Gavin will be based in our Chesterfield office, his flexible working arrangements will bring additional benefits to our Derbyshire clients. Gavin is happy to offer appointments with clients and their witnesses outside normal office hours and outside the office setting.
This flexibility recognises that it is not always possible for people to easily make time away from work commitments to travel to see a solicitor during normal office hours. This service, along with his willingness to arrange appointments around our clients’ availability (such as in the evening or weekend) will further demonstrate our commitment to put our clients first. These are arrangement are, of course, in addition to our commitment to provide 24 hour emergency advice and representation.
It may be of significance to existing or potential clients that we are not aware of any other firm of criminal solicitors in Chesterfield offering a similar service.
