Gabriela Milanova

Caseworker

Gabriela graduated with a law degree from the University of Law in 2023. She currently works as a caseworker, focusing on Magistrates’ Court matters and providing police station representation. She is in the process of completing the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) to become a qualified solicitor.

Gabriela has developed particular expertise in supporting vulnerable clients, including those with mental health conditions, learning disabilities, and victims of domestic abuse. She has assisted solicitors in cases ranging from lower-level offences such as common assault to serious charges involving sexual offences and drug-related crimes.

Her experience spans both legal aid and privately funded work. She has also supported solicitors in private taxi licensing hearings and appeals. Gabriela is known for her meticulous preparation of trial cases and her ability to build strong, respectful relationships with clients. She is especially skilled in legal research, which has directly contributed to successful outcomes—including not guilty verdicts—in complex cases. Her patient and empathetic approach helps clients navigate the criminal justice system, particularly those encountering it for the first time or facing personal hardship.

Notable Cases:

  • R v Y (2024) - Gabriela assisted a Director at Allen Hoole in representing a vulnerable youth client facing 11 sexual offence allegations. After a two-week trial in youth court, the case concluded with a mixed verdict.
  • R v LH (2025) - Gabriela supported a Director in a trial involving an assault at a children’s hospital. The client was also engaged in a family court matter, where a criminal conviction could have resulted in the loss of child custody. Through a careful review of evidence and strategic discussions, the client was found not guilty—an outcome that may prove pivotal in retaining custody.
  • R v AP (2024) - In a case involving ABH and criminal damage, Gabriela’s legal research uncovered continuity issues in the prosecution’s evidence. Her findings were key to the defence strategy, ultimately leading to a not guilty verdict.
