Sunita Mehta

Solicitor - Partner

SRA ID: 397739

Sunita has specialised exclusively in criminal defence work since 2003. She has gained considerable experience prior to being admitted as a Solicitor in 2008 and continued to develop her practice since. Sunita has worked on the full spectrum of criminal cases, including several high-profile cases. Sunita is now involved in preparing some of the firm’s most serious and complex cases with a particular emphasis on murder, firearms, serious violence and large-scale drug offences. She is currently involved in a number of cases including Operation Pretoria, Operation Headpiece, Operation Yacinoro, Operation Flores and Operation Salmson. Sunita also has substantial experience in dealing with sexual offences and fraud. Sunita is the lead solicitor for Operation Geode as well as preparing a number of sensitive cases dealing with unique sexual offences. Sunita’s respectful and reassuring manner coupled with a meticulous approach to preparation instils confidence in clients. Her attention to detail and client focused approach ensures that clients are provided with the best weaponry to defend their cases. Her caring and empathetic approach ensures clients are provided with support at the most trying of times, especially when in custody. Sunita currently heads up the team at our Walthamstow office. She oversees several fee earners and ensures that a high-quality standard is met for each of our clients, which is evident from our continuous achievements and year on year Lexcel accreditation. Sunita now mainly deals with cases where clients have been charged with serious violent offences or sexual offences. These cases need to be handled more sensitively as they often involve vulnerable complainants/witnesses, defendants with health difficulties and expert evidence. These issues are inherent in a number of these types of cases making the case more complex from the outset, as these also usually involve legal argument about non defendant bad character, prior sexual relationships and a number of other legal issues which need to be explored with the client. Furthermore, there are often novel or ever-changing legal arguments that are involved so need to be borne in mind when preparing the case. Sunita is a valued member of the defence team and works with extremely experienced Counsel and Queens Counsel. Her organised approach to cases and ability to get into the minutia of the evidence as well as instructions is invaluable.

I was recommended Abv solicitors and was not disappointed at all. Great communication from the beginning until the end. The matter resulted in a great outcome. I would like to thank Sunita, Zahir, Shafiq and the team of Barristers for their efforts and professionalism.

Very good Team, I had Shafiq who represented me in the police station and helped me a lot throughout the journey.
Then I had Sunita and Shaheen, Shaheen was very good at court, represented me very well in front of the magistrates and gave me a very good outcome, which I was very happy with.
A very good company, would highly recommended them.

Facing another custodial sentence, isn't the greatest thing in anyone's life. Add a little Covid-19 and your facing months of court closures and a prolonging of an already difficult situation. I was represented by Sunita at ABV Solicitors, not only was she professional, Sunita was empathetic and always remained contactable. I was made to feel like a victim of my own circumstance, rather than a defendant on a charge. The honesty and integrity that was displayed by her was outstanding and I will always believe that if she hadn't taken the time to get to know me and look into the circumstances, I would most certainly be facing a few months in prison. I can hand on heart say that thanks to Sunita and the instructions given to my Barrister, I was lucky enough to walk from the court......

I cannot recommend Sunita Mehta more. I was attacked and then charged with murder. Sunita advised me and helped me through the whole process and I am so pleased to say that charges have now been dropped. If you find yourself in trouble, Sunita is the person you need

The absolute full package! I will struggle to articulate how amazing the legal service was because it is truly out of this world! In particular, Sunita Mehta & Stan Reiz are a dynamic duo, a formidable team you wouldn’t want to bet against. Their professionalism was out of this world and maintained through the years of our engagement.

I felt completely supported from start to finish. Although they managed my expectations extremely well ensuring that all facts were considered and no stone was left unturned. Their diligent work and calm manner provided me a sense of optimism and undoubtably contributed to the overall outcome.

Sunita is exceptionally knowledgeable, supportive and considers all variables. She went above and beyond to ensure all dots were connected and we were more than prepared for court.

Stan Reiz was understanding, remarkably intelligent and delivered his points in a clear & concise manner. He effortlessly demands respect in the court room and is prepared for anything that’s thrown at him.

There is no other legal team I would recommend, my experience with ABV and Stan Reiz has been life changing. I couldn’t be happier!

Regards,
Jay
