Tell us about yourself

I joined Atkins Hope Solicitors in January 2004. In 2009 I qualified as a Legal Executive and in December 2011 I qualified as a Solicitor.

What’s your Expertise?

I specialise in Family Law and in particular, divorce and ancillary relief, contact and residence disputes and domestic violence.

What do you offer clients of Atkins Hope Solicitors?

I care deeply about achieving good results for my clients and I would say that I am extremely conscientious.

Clients will find me approachable with a ‘say it and mean it’ attitude. I have real enthusiasm for the work I do and a strong belief in attaining justice. Tenacious is probably a good word to use to describe my approach.

What else would you like to tell us about your role?

Because I deal with a range of services within Family Law, I can provide clients with true continuity of advice and service where their issues cross over from one area to another.

Could you give us a quote?

“I have a genuine belief in the work I do and I endeavour to give my clients realistic expectations from the outset to keep hostility and litigation to a minimum.”

Is there anything else you’d like to tell us?

I have experience in dealing with clients from all walks of life including those who are disabled and registered blind. I offer home visits to make things easier for house-bound clients.

Do you have something intriguing to leave us with?

In my spare time I greatly enjoy kickboxing.
