I am a Chartered Legal Executive based in the Tees Chelmsford office.
I have over 25 years of experience in family law. I provide advice and support in the event of a relationship breakdown for both unmarried and married parties, primarily regarding financial issues but also including arrangements for children.
I enjoy working with clients to ensure they feel listened to. My approach is to listen to find out what the client wants to achieve and to work with them to understand what they need to do to achieve their best outcome.
My objective is to ensure that clients understand the process they are involved in and to work with them to achieve their best possible solution most cost-effectively.
I work with a progressive family team in Chelmsford and colleagues in established offices in Brentwood, Cambridge, Bishop’s Stortford, and Royston. We work to ensure that any issues that may arise can be supported efficiently and cost-effectively.
The wider team includes our colleagues at Tees Wealth, a team of independent financial advisers who can offer expert advice based on your needs and finances.
The family team is very experienced and client focused and able to offer specialist advice in all areas of family law. It approaches cases pragmatically and considers all aspects of non court dispute resolution as a method to assist its clients to find resolution to issues.
Outside work, I enjoy walking for fitness and regularly volunteer at a local community charity.
