Summary

I have specialised solely in family law since I qualified as a solicitor in March 2001 and have been with Stephensons since 1998. I am able to provide first class legal advice that is specifically tailored to individual circumstances as I recognise that each case is different and each client has a different set of priorities. I am very proactive as I recognise that family problems are very stressful and clients want a solicitor who is accessible to them and who is always working to achieve a client focussed outcome, whilst keeping an eye on the legal costs involved. With this in mind myself and the large family team at Stephensons are able to offer fixed fees in many situations as we recognise that clients want certainty on the costs involved wherever possible

Expertise


I am able to advise on all aspects of family law including divorce, judicial seperation, dissolution of civil partnerships, financial settlements, pre-nuptial agreements, injunctions, occupation orders, matrimonial transfers of property, children disputes including residence, contact parental responsibility and child abduction.
I have been accredited by Resolution as a specialist family lawyer with particular specialisms in advanced financial provision and domestic abuse. I am therefore "a safe pair of hands" to deal with complex financial disputes whether they involve a business, a trust, pensions or a combination of all of these.
