One judge described him as “thoughtful, calm, and measured in his approach, displaying a level of skill and maturity which belies his juniority.” A judge at the Central Criminal Court described his advocacy as “clear, concise and persuasive” and was of the view that he will have “a promising career at the criminal Bar.”
