Peter Csemiczky is an expert criminal defence solicitor in our Serious & General Crime team who offers his clients a complete service from investigation to trial. He acts for individuals and organisations facing a broad spectrum of criminal allegations: from homicide and other violent offences to serious sexual assaults, drugs, communications and motoring offences. Whatever the allegation, Peter understands the impact of an investigation or proceedings on his clients and gives the same intense commitment to all his cases.
As litigator and advocate in both Magistrates’ and Crown Courts, Peter specialises in representing professionals such as business people, doctors and lawyers, as well as high profile individuals for all of whom any suggestion that they are connected to a crime is professionally devastating. He is expert in navigating the investigation and prosecution processes so that allegations are either ended early or are completed in in the most discreet way possible. His diligent case preparation, fierce determination and sympathetic manner mean that clients are highly enthusiastic about the results he achieves.
Peter’s clients have included some of the best known people in Britain facing the most serious allegations. He takes pride in providing a truly personal and dedicated service to all his clients, whatever their problem.
Peter has developed a niche specialism advising individuals on the criminal, regulatory and reputational implications of social media posts and maintaining an online profile.
After initially training to be a professional musician, Peter qualified as a solicitor in 2009 and joined Hickman & Rose in 2015. He was made a partner in January 2018 when he was also recommended by Chambers UK as a “rising star in the criminal defence world”.
