Areas of Specialisation

Janick is an experienced criminal defence practitioner, with a well established practice in London and the South East. Well known for his fearless cross-examination and excellent closing speeches, Janick is often instructed by those solicitors that have attracted difficult clients who adamantly refuse to plead in the face of overwhelming evidence. Many of his finest results have come from those cases where the client has already sacked previous counsel after unwanted pressure to crack the case has been applied. No matter how narrow the defence, regardless of how implausible it may seem on the facts, if the client insists on running it then Janick will be only too pleased to fight it.

Janick is often relied upon by solicitors that require help in managing cases in which the client is behaving in a difficult manner. In those cases where the client is either particularly nervous or vulnerable, or where they might be aggressive toward their own legal team, Janick can be relied upon to overcome those difficulties and achieve the best results.

The majority of his cases involve the importation and supply of drugs, armed robbery and serious physical or sexual violence. His experience however is far more wide ranging and covers almost all of the criminal spectrum including environmental offences and health and safety.

Janick has also gained a good deal of experience in the Court of Appeal and the Administrative Court, having taken numerous points on conviction and sentence.
