Why family law?
I have wanted to be a lawyer from the age of 10. I knew that family law was the right area for me following a week of work experience at 15 years old. I saw then how rewarding it is to support people during what can be the most difficult time of their lives. To me this is more than a job but at the heart of my role I want you to get the best outcome no matter the situation you are in. I want to ensure that you can look to the future in a positive light.
