Why choose me

Achieving the best possible outcome for clients and the people they care about is at the centre of what I do as a family lawyer. The decision to seek help and advice about the end of a relationship is always hard and daunting. I support my clients through what can be an uncertain time.

With over 35 years’ experience in the family law arena, I specialise in financial settlements on divorce and children’s disputes where parents cannot agree arrangements for their children when they separate.

I advocate an amicable and conciliatory approach to the resolution of disputes between separating couples and adopt a modern approach. Where such approach is not appropriate, viable, or reciprocated I am a very experienced and able litigator.

My clients have included people from all occupations from professionals, entrepreneurs and homemakers; from couples who have been married forever to those who have not been married for very long.

I am approachable, empathetic, and quick to absorb complicated facts and issues; and provide down to earth and clear advice on outcomes, objectives, and strategy.

I am a trained collaborative lawyer. Under the collaborative process both parties instruct Resolution-trained lawyers to work  by your side  through a series of four-way meetings – not letter writing – with the objective of  having meaningful and constructive dialogue with your partner alongside their own lawyer to reach an amicable out of court settlement.

Outside work, I have four grown up children, geographically spread, whose company I enjoy immensely. I am also an enthusiastic gardener – I’m currently trying to reclaim a garden that has been left to its own devices for far too long.
