Private funding allows us to climb together
.
Funding
Marcus is very conscious that many inmates wrongfully convicted or who are the subject of a miscarriage of justice, do not have the funds to pay for a review of their case. Although Marcus mainly focuses on privately funded cases, he does from time to time take on exceptionally meritorious or intriguing cases that are eligible for legal aid.
However, he finds the sad reality is that legal aid funding can restrict the scope of work that can properly be carried out when reviewing a case in order to ensure that every possible line of enquiry is pursued. Private funding has no such constraints.
Marcus reviews conviction AND sentence cases, as well as applications to the CCRC. He can work either on an hourly rate or can agree a fixed fee in suitable cases.
If you have been wrongfully convicted or you are a victim of a miscarriage of justice and you want your conviction or sentence to be reviewed, please get in touch either by writing to Marcus at Red Lion Chambers, 18 Red Lion Court, London, EC4A 3EB, or use the contact form.
Instructions
Marcus can be instructed by you through a firm of solicitors in the conventional way or he may be instructed by way of Direct Access as he is qualified in this regard. Marcus will discuss these options with you when you have the chance to speak.

Instructing Marcus by way of Direct Access can be discussed – depending on your case there may be advantages. In the meantime please read the following from the Bar Standards Board on Public Access Guidance for Lay Clients.
