Our Solicitors

Anthony Mulrenan

Partner

Anthony Mulrenan began working in criminal defence law in 1989, qualifying as a solicitor in 1992. 20 years later he has lost none of his enthusiasm and dedication, but has gained a great deal of experience and success along the way.

Born and raised locally, he is equally happy conducting cases in the local community or undertaking high end criminal cases, and has excellent communication skills whatever the background or age of the client. Anthony has regularly represented clients charged with murder and other grave crimes, and has achieved many surprising results against the weight of evidence.

He believes that good representation begins with a respect for the client, and endeavours to treat each case with the importance it deserves, whatever the scale or gravity.
