We are pleased to announce that Maggie Pedersen has joined the team at H.P. Gower Solicitors.
Maggie is a criminal defence solicitor, has been qualified for 14 years and is a Duty Solicitor. During this time Maggie has represented Greenpeace and other protest groups as well as clients arrested on terrorism allegations. She has also represented many clients accused of murder, rape and kidnapping as well as dealing with fraud allegations. She is totally committed to her clients and is willing to do more than usual to give them total support both at police stations and in court. She is a very confident advocate and is happy to stand up to any Judge in court and to senior officers in the police station whenever it is necessary.
Maggie has enormous experience of dealing with vulnerable clients and young people. Before Maggie became a solicitor she was a successful teacher in secondary schools where she taught English up to A level. She also taught evening classes to adults at the University of Bristol. At that time whilst teaching and bringing up children, Maggie studied for a Masters degree in education management. Maggie has always been interested in law and decided to qualify in law as a mature student and as a second career – a decision she has never regretted.
