Biography

Since calling to the Bar in 1995, Victoria has been instructed as junior counsel in many of the most complex and high profile criminal trials in Scotland. 

She relishes the challenges cases like this provide and is known for her professional, detailed and committed approach.  She also regularly appears in her own right in Sheriff and High Court trials. Although she principally practices in the criminal courts, she is also experienced in Childrens' Referrals.
