Alexia Nicol

Alexia has been qualified as a solicitor since 2003 and achieved her Higher Rights of Audience in 2009.  Since that date, she has widened her practice and now appears almost exclusively as a Crown Court Advocate undertaking jury trials and all other hearings.  She also appears at the Court of Appeal when required.

She represents clients facing the full spectrum of criminal offences including serious sexual, violent and drug related matters alongside financial crime and dishonesty offences.

Alexia has exceptional client care skills and gains the trust and confidence of her clients at an early stage.  She represents all clients without judgement and is experienced in dealing with matters sensitively but robustly.  She is a skilful advocate and particularly enjoys a speech to the jury!

Alexia is also a qualified Duty Solicitor which enables her to maintain her knowledge and experience of the Police Station and Magistrates Courts which gives her a unique insight into the process a client has been through and can use that to their advantage in the Crown Court.
