I am a family solicitor and work closely with the Harrogate Family Law Team, supporting the work we undertake for you.
My expertise is in:
- dealing with your difficult ex, including those with narcissistic traits
- getting the best outcome for you
- dealing with ex’s who are not compliant with the process and try to hide assets
- navigating disputes about child arrangements
- offering practical solutions for the difficulties you face with your ex, in both children and financial matters
Why should you meet with me?
I am:
- Friendly and approachable
- Supportive and always on your side
- Passionate and committed to achieving the outcome you deserve no matter what obstacles your ex tries to present or the complexity of the case
Why family law?
I developed a passion for family law when I studied my Master’s in Law and I dedicated my thesis to exploring the area of domestic abuse further.
The opportunity to support people and watch them transform through a particularly difficult period in their life is very rewarding. I am passionate about helping you and your family plan for your future, no matter how difficult the circumstances are now.
