I am a Paralegal in the Tees Family department, based in the Bishop’s Stortford office.
I work alongside a team of experienced specialist practitioners on a range of family matters, including but not limited to, divorce, financial remedy and private children law.
We understand that much of the work we deal with for clients can be a time of great stress and upset. I strive to provide clients with an excellent level of client care, including listening and working efficiently and empathetically.
Tees solicitors are amazing. Helen and Steph are powerhouses, supported myself with great advice during my divorce, especially during the final court hearing, they go through everything with a fine tooth comb and nothing is left unturned. Incredible women and I couldn't have been happier with the service I got.
I joined Tees in March 2018 and have since progressed through various roles, culminating in the successful completion of the Paralegal Apprenticeship in September 2022. I am currently undertaking the Solicitors’ Apprenticeship, further developing my legal expertise.
