How I Can Help You

I support clients across a broad spectrum of family law matters, including:

  • Financial issues arising from divorce and separation
  • Children arrangements and related disputes
  • Contentious family law matters requiring firm but sensitive representation

I understand that family law issues can be deeply personal and stressful. I focus on providing clear, practical advice and work closely with clients to help them achieve fair and workable outcomes, while keeping their longer-term wellbeing in mind.

My Legal Journey

I graduated from Bournemouth University in November 2021 with a First Class degree in Law. I then attended the University of Law, where I completed the Legal Practice Course alongside an integrated Master’s degree.

I completed my training contract at a Kent-based regional firm, qualifying as a solicitor after gaining experience across several practice areas. During my training, I discovered a strong interest in contentious work, particularly family law. I spent a full year of my training contract within the family department, building solid experience across a wide range of family law cases and developing a clear focus on this area of practice.

About Me

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am a keen volunteer with animal charities and enjoy hiking with my energetic Labrador, who keeps me busy when I am not in the office.

If I Were Not a Lawyer…

If I were not a lawyer, I would love to work with animals and would happily be a vet, a zookeeper, or anything else involving animal welfare.

Desert Island Essentials

If I were stranded on a desert island, I would take:

  • Ladies & Gentlemen by George Michael
  • Sheer Heart Attack by Queen
  • The Hannibal Lecter book series by Thomas Harris, reflecting my love of thriller novels
