I am a chartered legal executive with many years of experience, having practised this area of law for over 15 years. I am considered an expert in this field, particularly in cases where the local authority is alleging non-accidental injury. My work has a particular emphasis on Public Law matters, also known as care proceedings, where Social Services have become involved with your family. In this, I am experienced in representing vulnerable clients and young parents. I represent parents at meetings before proceedings with Social Services and specialise in acting for parents in contact disputes concerning children, where one parent has made allegations about the other. I prioritise dealing with matters with sensitivity whilst supporting clients during what can be a difficult and stressful time.
