I initially undertook work experience with the firm whilst still a student and in 1991, I joined the practice as a trainee Solicitor. I was admitted as a Solicitor in 1993 and I became a Partner of the firm in 1995.
Throughout my career, I have specialised in family and children matters and I have gained extensive experience in this area of the law. I am aware of the distress and anxiety many people feel following the breakdown of a relationship, and I aim to offer support and reassurance to my clients, combined with clear and practical advice.
I will be happy to advise you on all aspects of Family Law including:-
Divorce, Nullity or Dissolution of a Civil Partnership;
Separation;
