I am a Solicitor at HOMS Assist and I joined the firm in 2014. With over twenty years of experience in dealing with family law, I also have expertise in litigation, property and commercial related matters, which is hugely beneficial when dealing with family assets. With this skill set and our committed team, we deliver high-quality legal advice.
I endeavour to achieve the best outcomes for my clients with clear, unambiguous advice on divorce, judicial separation, the financial consequences of marital breakdown, recognition of foreign divorces, civil partnership, cohabitation and non-marital relationships. I also assist in resolving conflicts involving children, access, guardianship and child abduction, paternity disputes and maintenance.
Family Law is a unique area of law which requires the utmost skill and care in how it is approached, explained and represented. With this in mind, I offer a service which always places my client’s present and future, together with the best interests of children, at the forefront and heart of the case. Mediation and litigation are always carefully considered and explained.
In my spare time, I enjoy cross fit, pilates and running.
