I began my legal career as a paralegal, I then progressed to becoming a solicitor in 2011.

I have worked on family law cases since 2009 and have run a number of cases as a solicitor, ranging from divorces, financial matters relating to dissolution of relationships, cases involving third parties and property disputes. I also represent clients in private law children matters involving allegations of abuse, how much time a child should spend either parent and where the child should live. I have also assisted grandparents and siblings with securing a court order to spend time with a child.

I am also able to assist in public law proceedings in cases where a person is not entitled to legal aid, such as a step parent or other relative.

I act as a McKenzie friend because I recognise that there are circumstances in which people in court proceedings do not always require the full suite of services a solicitor offers, but often can benefit from guidance and understanding of the legal implications of a given situation.  This also gives me the flexibility to assist a smaller number of clients, which gives me the ability to focus on those cases.

I am able to assist with a case from filing an application to a final hearing.

As well as being a solicitor, I am also a trained family mediator.
