Why family law?
My parents divorced when I was a teenager. I understand, first-hand, what you are worrying about. I have also seen how, with the right help, it will get better and that there is a future to look forward to.
I love being able to solve people’s problems. People want to be treated fairly, to have certainty and to move forwards. For me, that’s what family law is all about. It is an honour to get people through the difficulties so that they have peace of mind about the future.

I was awarded the Cohen and Career Guarantee Scholarship at BPP Law School. I was also recognised with a “Safe Pair of Hands” Award for my ability to help people.
I have also been described by a recent client as: “highly professional, precise and thorough.”
