Background

I started practising because a family friend lost her home in a divorce she never understood. That still shapes how I work: every client leaves our first meeting knowing the process, the likely costs and the next three steps. Twenty years in, I still read every draft agreement line by line before it goes out, and I still return calls the same day.
