Very High Cost Cases Specialist

Marlon is able to excel in the preparation of these cases due to his thorough and planned approach, which is necessary in VHCC’s due to the considerable volume of evidence in these cases which can run to the hundreds of thousands.  These cases also often involve complicated expert evidence.  Marlon is a calm and considered individual who will methodically consider and analyse evidence.
