About me

My experience within the legal sector spans 10 years experience in a range of sectors. Known for my professionalism, knowledge,  non judgmental and down to earth approach. I am always keen to hear from prospective clients. Whatever the situation , I am here to offer support, handle it efficiently and with great care. 
Combined with a passion for what I do, my role will always be to offer support to individuals going through the legal process. 
Within the court environment you will always remain a litigant in person and my role is to ensure you are guided throughout the process with support, assistance and kept fully informed. From making the initial application through to contested hearings I have helped defend allegations of Domestic Abuse, helped those are are victims of abuse, obtained positive shared care arrangements, protective injunctions, assisted parents who have been alienated from their children and paternity fraud.

Services 

Court Attendance 

Going through the court process on your own can be daunting.  Be assured, you do not have to attend on your own.
To clarify, I cannot guarantee ‘rights of audience’ in court. 
I will attend court as your ‘McKenzie Friend’ and can be with your throughout the whole process. I will quietly advise and take notes of the proceedings and prepare you for each hearing in advance. If the judge permits it, we might be able to address the court on your behalf.

Drafting 

Filling out court forms accurately and correctly is a significant part of the process.  Get it wrong, and the court might miss an important aspect of your position and the issues at hand. 
As part of my role I will ensure this can be done to highest standard and done correctly.
I will always provide you with a draft copy to ensure your position has been set out correctly.    As an alternative, I can obtain  pre-written copy of your position and make alterations to present your best case at every opportunity.

Other services 

Admin support:- assistance in writing emails with professionals. Bundle Preparation:-  It is the general rule where a party is represented the responsibility rests with that person to prepare the bundle. However there occasions where neither party is represented, therefore a good bundle can assist the court. 

Statement Prep

 A case can be won or lost on poorly written documents.
For this reason, I prefer to oversee the draft for you. This ensures quality throughout the process.
If you prefer to write your own statements, I will support you in communicating your issues  guiding you to keep the issues on point. 
I am complete advocate of working together with my clients. This nor only ensure efficiency, it allows you to build trust with me to assist you in your case.
