I am keen to help my clients find the best possible solutions and I am a good negotiator as well as an approachable, personable individual. Clients have often commended me on my ability to put them at ease. I am experienced in dealing with a wide range of cases with emphasis on the following:
Family (Children)
I accept instructions from Applicants and Respondents to deal with disputes involving applications for contact and residence, prohibited steps orders and specific issue orders. I have experience of cases involving allegations of domestic violence and substance abuse and I am frequently instructed to advise and represent clients in relation to fact-finding hearings.
My core family (children) practice involves the following areas:
- Child Arrangement Orders (contact and residence)
- Parental responsibility
- International aspects
- Prohibited Steps Orders
- Specific Issue Orders
- Non-molestation and Occupation Orders
- Applications to enforce

- Fact-finding hearings
Divorce and Financial Settlement
I am routinely instructed to advise and represent clients in relation to divorce and financial settlement proceedings, from initial advice on merits, drafting Form E, Questionnaire, Responses, attendance at FDAs, FDRs, Final Hearings, Appeals and enforcement applications. My experience of these proceedings includes:
- Business assets
- Pensions
