Tosin Akinboboye

Tosin Akinboboye joined Hodge Jones & Allen in September 2022, as a Criminal Defence Solicitor, having completed her training contract and qualifying as a solicitor at a respected North London firm. Her criminal defence practice involves representing individuals for a wide range of offence; from minor public order and assaults through to serious and organised crime, drugs, weapons, large-scale fraud and serious sexual offences. Tosin’s extensive experience as an advocate and litigator in these areas has enabled her to secure an acquittal of a multi-handed conspiracy case.

Tosin advocates for clients in the magistrates’ court and has many years of experience in representing those detained at, or voluntarily attending the police station or local authority councils for interview under caution. Tosin has developed a proficiency in drafting written representations to the police and to the Crown Prosecution Service in respect of charging decisions. This proficiency has led to police finding alternative resolutions or avoiding prosecution all together, and taking no further action against an individual, and if criminal proceedings have begun these representations have led to them being later discontinued. Her approach is to proactively put forward a robust defence and not just be reactive to the prosecution case.
