Testimonials

"Your manner was at all times professional, your advice balanced, accurate and factual with a knowledge clearly built on years of practical experience within the law and court system. You were quick to establish that mine was a 'needs based' case, that this was our strength and where we needed to focus - you were very right. I have been through the legal system twice, first for contact and then for financial resolution and I can say without doubt that you are the best Barrister I have seen work.

In court you were excellent, striking exactly the right balance of assertiveness and respect and making strong law and process based arguments where appropriate. Furthermore you were absolutely fearless in your approach to cross examination of my former husband and in protecting me from his barrister."
