Tell us about yourself
I qualified as a solicitor in 2005 and joined Atkins Hope Solicitors in the same year. I became a Member of The Children Panel in 2010.
What’s your Expertise?
I specialise in children work and domestic violence cases.
What do you offer clients of Atkins Hope Solicitors?
I’d like to think that I am friendly, approachable and honest. I will always make time for my clients and from the outset I will ensure that they feel comfortable telling me about their case. Trust between a lawyer and their client I feel is very important, so I strive to seek the clients trust from the outset.
I am extremely strong minded, I have the persistence to continue fighting for something that I truly believe in and I don’t give up easily.
What else would you like to tell us about your role?
I belong to The Law Society Children Panel. This specialist Panel has few Members and being a member enables me to represent children directly. I am also a member of the following:
1. NAGALRO (National Association of Guardians ad litem and Reporting Officers), which is the professional association for Children's Guardians and Children and Family Reporters and Independent Social Workers.
2. BAFF(British Association for Adoption and Fostering
3. Resolution, a national organisation of family lawyers committed to dealing with family matters in a non confrontational manner; and
4. The Association of Lawyers for Children.
Could you give us a quote?
“There can be nothing more gratifying than seeing a child smile and be happy after years of torture, torment, abuse, tears and sleepless nights; makes all the hard work worthwhile!”
Is there anything else you’d like to tell us?
I am a parent of two boys, who keep me extremely busy! I am of Greek origin and therefore speak fluent Greek.
Do you have something intriguing to leave us with?
I am a professional cake maker! I mainly create wedding, Christening and birthday cakes – but orders will be taken for any other occasion!
