Omar Shah leads the Criminal Department at Halton Law, where his practice is concentrated on the most serious and complex criminal matters: murder, kidnap, serious violence, large-scale drugs conspiracies, fraud, money laundering and cash seizure.

Omar has built a strong client following on attention to detail, meticulous preparation and a record of exceptional results. He is known for his ability to plan a case strategically, to anticipate and manoeuvre around obstacles as proceedings develop, and to unpick the prosecution case. Clients value his rare ability to take a complex matter, explain it in plain terms, and guide them through every stage of the process to trial.

His drugs practice includes numerous cases involving the importation of multi-tonne quantities of Class A and Class B drugs into the country, multi-kilo conspiracies and street-level supply, with results across the board that speak for themselves.

Omar is hands-on in the preparation of every case he takes. He is results driven, with client care at the forefront of his practice, and his clients consistently return to him for his insight, his approach and his advice.
