Why family law?

I knew that I wanted to work in family law following my first work experience week at 15 years old. I saw then how rewarding it is to support clients during what can be the most difficult period of your lives. At the heart of my role, I want to help you get the best outcome no matter the complexity of the situation or problem you are facing. I want to ensure that you can look forward to the future.
