Legal 500 2025/Crime (General and Fraud)/ Leading Juniors/ Western Circuit"Graham Gilbert recently represented our son in Crown Court hearing in Portsmouth. We met Graham on the day of the hearing, and he immediately put us at our ease. He provided us with clear information on what was happening and stayed in touch with us throughout the day (when the hearing wasnât taking place) keeping us updated on the inevitably slow, court proceedings. After the hearing, when we could speak with our son, our son told us how helpful and clear Grahamâs advice had been. Being at your sonâs Crown Court hearing is a stressful event but we were in great hands and Grahamâs counsel got our son the best result at court. Graham is an excellent barrister and we have no hesitation in recommending him." - Client
