Luke is very experienced in general criminal cases of the utmost gravity, including murder, international fraud, drug trafficking and serious sexual offences. He is instructed at present to lead for the Crown in a multiple arson and hoax-calls case.
Luke has many years of experience in cases of physical child abuse (especially “baby shaking"), historic sexual abuse and causing death by driving. He was recently successful in the defence of a young man accused of causing death by careless driving, a relatively new offence; the driver had been driving a municipal vehicle as part of his employment when another road user was killed in a collision. The court ordered a defendant's costs order to cover the private fees of counsel and solicitor.
Luke consistently provides the highest levels of service in all cases, but is particularly experienced in meeting the specific requirements of private clients. He has a considerable practice involving cases funded by insurance companies.
He has often appeared for Armed Forces personnel before Courts Martial.
He is an approved advocacy trainer for the Middle Temple.
