One of North Wales’ leading criminal lawyers has been selected for a prestigious global legal network.

Rhyl-based Dafydd Roberts, a director and head of the criminal law department at Gamlins Law, has been appointed to LexisNexis.

“I am delighted to have been chosen by LexisNexis to be part of the Welsh panel. I am passionate about the need for clients in Wales to be able to access legal services of the highest possible standard and I look forward to helping to ensure that this continues to be the case.”
