Stephanie Mavromatis is a Senior Legal Consultant who has over six years’ experience in criminal defence as well as other areas of law.
Stephanie deals with all stages of criminal proceedings, from police station up to Crown Court, and has expertise in a wide range of criminal offences from low level offences such as theft, assault and public order offences to more serious offences including complex drug, serious violence, sexual offences, complex fraud and murder.

She thrives on the legal and strategic challenges involved in preparing cases for trial and fights on behalf of her clients to avoid prosecution wherever possible, whether by challenging the evidential basis of an investigation through representations and requests for disclosure or challenging the decision that it is in the public interest to prosecute.
