I specialise in Matrimonial Finance and have over 20 years experience dealing with a range of issues from straightforward cases with minimal assets through to cases with a number of complex assets.
My approach
My approach is to offer straightforward advice in what can be very difficult times for clients. I take a practical approach with all of my clients in order to give the best possible representation.
