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, 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.

What do others say about me?

• “I would definitely recommend Emily and the team at Harrogate Family Law to anyone who is going through the heartbreak of child arrangements in a toxic divorce with a difficult ex partner. Emily and all the staff at HFL are friendly and helpful and go beyond the legal support. Every time I called Emily in a panic because of some new development or some grenade dropped by my ex, Emily would think critically and clearly, propose a strategy and be a calming influence. I wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that Emily and the staff at HFL including Isabel who I spoke to a few times have helped me hold on during a very difficult situation. Without their support I would have gone under emotionally and mentally. They combine good knowledge and strategy with empathy, support and validation. I would definitely recommend Emily and HFL to anyone going through this heartbreak.” – Client testimonial (Child Arrangement Matters)
