Luis joined our team in August 2023 having re-located from Cardiff, South-Wales.
Luis trained to be a solicitor through a reputable Cardiff firm who specialise in all areas of criminal defence. He qualified as a solicitor in 2018 and quickly completed his duty solicitor accreditation thereafter.
Before earning his training contract, he firstly undertook the police station qualification (APSR) and has been representing clients in the police station since 2015.

He is able to assist those serving custodial sentences with adjudications, re-categorisations and parole board hearings.
