PATTON, ANTON

Anton joined Olliers in 2008 as part of the firm's merger with the crime team at JMW Solicitors.

Anton specialises in defending alleagtions of serious crime. He has acted in numerous allegations of conspiracies to import/supply drugs, firearms offences, serious armed robberies, terrorism allegations, people trafficking, together with allegations of murder(particularly "gang related"), manslaughter and serious sexual offences.

He has acted for clients in relation to the most serious of allegations for over 10 years now and he has built up a loyal client base.

Currently Anton acts for clients who are charged with offences that have been investigated by SOCA, HMRC, Major Incident Teams, and the CID as well as a large number of cases investigated by the Xcalibre Task Force who investigage firearms and gang related incidents in the Manchester area.
Instructions also come from clients who have been arrested in other countries in relation to European Arrest Warrants (EAW). The relevant investigatory body will then seek to extradite the client back to the UK to face criminal proceedings. Anton will liaise with lawyers in the relevant countries to ensure that the client's legal rights are being maintained to the highest standards and will ensure that Olliers is fully prepared for our clients to return to the UK.

Whether it be the police, SOCA or any other investigatory body, in Anton they have a fearless adversary.
