Work and Clients

With nearly 20 years experience in Criminal Law Ruth has dealt with all levels of criminal cases from minor motoring to murder and anything in between. Ruth also has experience in dealing with non-police prosecutions such as those brought by the Health and Safety Executive, Environment Agency, Trading Standards and the RSPCA etc.
