Direct Access Barrister
Emma Louise Heath
I have assisted thousands of clients, including young and vulnerable individuals, throughout criminal proceedings. My extensive experience within the Criminal Justice System has given me a deep understanding of how emotionally challenging the process can be for defendants and their families during what is often one of the most difficult periods of their lives.
Through thorough preparation and early strategic intervention, I have secured the dismissal of cases without the need for a trial. Where cases do proceed to trial, I am a persuasive and effective jury advocate, with a proven track record of achieving successful outcomes and earning the confidence and appreciation of my clients through the results I deliver.
Area of Law
Crime
I am a specialist criminal barrister with experience defending clients accused of the full spectrum of criminal offences, from road traffic and driving matters to the most serious allegations, including murder and rape.
What sort of work do I do?
I am able to defend any criminal allegation before any criminal court (the Magistrates Court, the Crown Court, the Court Martial and the Court of Appeal).
Who do I work for?
I represent clients from all backgrounds and all walks of life facing allegations before the criminal courts. Whether acting for first-time defendants, young or vulnerable clients, or those accused of the most serious offences, I provide clear, practical advice and robust representation at every stage of the proceedings.
I am based in London but I regularly represent clients in courts throughout England and Wales, offering dedicated advocacy and a committed, client-focused service wherever they are required.
