to Cornerstone Chambers

Cornerstone Chambers is an independent, highly skilled, industrious, and exceptionally focus-driven, barristers’ chambers that specialises predominantly in criminal law. Well established, with over 20 years experience of prosecuting and defending in all areas, avenues, aspects and categories of crime, Cornerstone Chambers champions the rights of others by providing ‘a voice for the voiceless’.

Formidable, forthright and fearless with a hunger and deep yearning to fiercely uphold the fundamental principle that a man is innocent unless and until proven guilty, Ann Tayo otherwise known as ‘the woman lawyer’ is the unique, courageous and charismatic advocate who champions the rights of the innocent and those prejudged condemned vilified and cast aside before trial and or conviction. Trial by media, trial by speculation, pre judgment presumption, assumption, partiality, reputation or stereo typical behavior is met with an uncompromising no!

It is common to hear people saying: “But I’m not guilty! Can you get me off? How do I get off? How do I go about clearing my name? It’s a set up! He doesn’t have a leg to stand! Who’s going to believe me? But I’m telling the truth!”

Cornerstone Chambers’ approach is that each case must be dealt with on it’s own merits. No issue is too challenging and no challenge is too great! Although you may think you don’t ‘have a leg to stand on’, when your case is fortified on solid principles and the law is properly approached and thoroughly researched, your case can be made structurally sound and you can rest comfortably in the knowledge that having been carefully analysed all issues will be meticulously addressed and convincingly advanced on your behalf.”
