James Rickerby

As a solicitor in the Crime and Motoring departments at David Gray Solicitors, I am committed to providing clear and practical advice tailored to your unique circumstances. I understand that every case is different, and I strive to offer a service that addresses your individual needs. Throughout the legal process, I aim to be a reassuring presence, ensuring you always feel supported and understood.

Before qualifying, I gained valuable experience as a paralegal in the Crown Court team and obtained my police station accreditation. This early exposure has equipped me to guide you through your case from the very beginning, offering comprehensive support throughout every stage of the process.

During my training, I worked in various legal areas, including family, immigration, and mental health law. This broad experience helps me to understand the intersection of these fields and their impact on criminal cases, allowing me to take a holistic approach when advising my clients.

I hold a Law degree from Newcastle University and completed my Legal Practice Course (LPC) at Northumbria University. Prior to joining David Gray Solicitors, I worked at the Legal Aid Agency, which gave me valuable insight into public funding applications—knowledge I now use to assist clients in securing the support they need.
