Because of his passion in criminal defence and justice, Alex works tirelessly on each of his clients cases, while providing reliable, prompt and realistic legal advice, and fierce representation in the court room.

While no lawyer can guarantee the outcome, Alex is able to guarantee that everything that should be done, gets done with timely preparation in every one of his cases. This puts his clients in the best possible position to win. This has contributed towards his high success rate in achieving proven success for his clients.
