Cases in this area of law often attract a great deal of media attention. They can involve complex legal arguments and extensive investigations. Our barristers work tirelessly to ensure the client is properly advised at every stage of the case.
We pride ourselves on being able to evaluate the evidence, present complex legal arguments, and present the most effective case on behalf of our clients. Our team has the capability and knowledge to handle psychiatric and other expert witnesses, particularly when they are dealing with or advancing defenses of insanity and diminished responsibility.
Members of AP Berkeley understand that murder, homicide, and manslaughter are areas of law that require sensitivity, clarity, and professionalism. It takes preparation and skill to be an effective advocate. We at AP Berkeley pride ourselves on being able to provide a choice of members who specialise in such serious cases for clients to choose from, each with all the skills and understanding to deal effectively with such complex cases developed from experience in these cases.
