About Daven

Daven was admitted to the Solicitors’ Role in September 2003 and joined Maples in April 2004. With effect from the 1st January 2009 Daven has become a Partner in The Firm.

Daven specialises in Criminal Law, Motoring and Licensing matters.  He is a Member of the Law Society Criminal Litigation Accreditation Scheme and is also a Member of the Boston and Spalding Duty Solicitor Scheme for both the Police Station and the Court.

He has vast experience of all matters of Criminal work including high profile cases involving rape and murder ranging to the bottom end of the scale of seriousness to criminal damage and public order offences.

Daven is also well respected locally for his representation of clients in motoring matters, whether he is trying to prevent a driving ban or to obtain an acquittal.

Since our Firm holds a Criminal Defence Service Contract, Daven can apply for and obtain legal aid for many Criminal Law matters.  However when legal aid is not available, Daven has on many occasions successfully applied to the Court at the end of a case for a Defendant’s Costs Order from Central Funds to have the client’s costs met by the Court/State.

Outside of work Daven is a keen sportsman and is currently working on his golf handicap.


Testimonials

"Daven gave me clear and concise guidance from first engaging through to the court date.  Daven, at all times, gave me comfort that he fully understood the situation and knew exactly how to approach the case.  This was perfected by the best possible outcome occurring on the day."

"Daven provided an excellent service, from attending the first interview with me to the final court appearance.  He filled me full of confidence that he would defend me to which he did and come out with an excellent outcome in view of my position that I had put myself in."

"Mr Naghen was very helpful, very reassuring at a time when I was very distressed and bewildered."

"When I went into Maples Solicitors I was in a desperate state and didn't know where to turn.  The staff at Maples were all very kind and understanding.  When I met my Solicitor Mr Naghen I immediately felt reassured and at ease.  He worked very hard on my case and in the end brought me the right result.  I owe a great deal to him and I will be forever greatful [sic]."

"In such a complex case, Daven has dedicated as much time to me as I needed to help me understand the case, the law, and to simplify the whole journey. I would not asked for anybody other than Daven to help in this situation, extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and a very nice person to work with. - Anonymous

Testimonials

Jamie Dobbs FCILEx

"I should like to take this opportunity to express my very sincere and grateful thanks for Jamie's unfailing helpfulness and efficiency in all aspects of the handling of my late stepmother's estate. Jamie have always replied to my (many!) queries promptly and comprehensively which has been a enormous help throughout what I know can be a fraught and stressful process. Sadly, it is increasingly rare these days to experience the highs standards of service that Jamie has provided."

Gemma Mayer LLB

"I would highly recommend Maples Solicitors, especially Gemma Mayer, for any conveyancing work. The level of support and professionalism was excellent at all times. I also felt if I needed to ask or clarify anything that it was not an issue. Buying and selling a house is stressful enough, but Gemma helped me through it step by step."

Jamie Dobbs GCILEx

Over the last forty years I have cause to deal with many law firms both in a personal and professional capacity, including some ‘top’ London Companies. In all of those dealings I have never found anyone as proactive and so willing to offer help and advice as Jamie Dobbs. During the last two years Jamie guided my parents through the completion of Lasting Powers of Attorney. Helped myself with the use of the LPA and recently dealing with Probate and Estate Administration following their death.
