“My first year at PCD Solicitors has been truly amazing – both in what it has taught me about the way the criminal justice system works, and the opportunities it has afforded to learn and train at such a thriving practice.
I think very few firms offer the same level of support and opportunities to grow. I am particularly grateful for the mentorship and guidance offered by Marcus and our other solicitors, and the level of exposure I’ve been given to such serious, sensitive and complex cases.”
Angeline Walker, trainee solicitor
