Lina Tsui-Cheung

Lina is a senior solicitor and a distinguished criminal defence advocate, having over 20 years’ experience in all aspects of criminal law. She is Duty qualified and has been a member of the Criminal Litigation Accreditation Scheme since 2004.

She is widely respected for her unwavering commitment to her clients and her exceptional professionalism. She brings a calm, focused approach to even the most complex cases, ensuring that every client receives thorough, strategic, and personalised legal representation.

Renowned for delivering outstanding client care, Lina is not only a skilled legal advocate but also a trusted advisor during some of the most difficult moments in her clients’ lives. She takes the time to listen, understand the wider context of each case, and offer clear, honest advice from the outset. Her clients consistently value her for being approachable, attentive, and proactive. These are qualities that make a real difference in high-pressure situations.

Lina is tenacious in defending her clients’ rights. Whether facing police investigations or court proceedings, she will fight your corner every step of the way. Her meticulous preparation, persuasive advocacy, and strategic thinking consistently lead to excellent results, both in and out of court.

Lina has a keen interest in road traffic cases where she combines strong legal knowledge with the ability to scrutinise evidential and procedural issues, whether involving breath / blood testing, accident reconstruction, or police procedures.

In sexual offence cases, Lina handles allegations ranging from indecent exposure and assault to serious rape and child sexual abuse. Her approach is always client focused, aiming not only to obtain the best possible outcome, but also to safeguard the rights, dignity, and future of those she represents. In domestic related offences (domestic assault, coercive control, or harassment/stalking) she brings empathy, rigour, and a refusal to accept poorly founded charges without challenge.

Lina has a proven track record of successfully representing clients during the pre-charge engagement stage, often preventing cases from progressing to formal charges. By intervening early in the investigation, she works strategically to challenge weak evidence, present vital defence material, and submit strong legal representations to the police/CPS. Her proactive approach has helped many clients avoid the stress and consequences of prosecution altogether.

Lina’s dedication to justice and fair treatment is evident in every case she takes on. For Lina, it’s not just about legal defence — it’s about standing by her clients with strength, clarity, and compassion from beginning to end.

Lina is supervised by a Partner to ensure high level of client care and satisfaction.
