Biography
I work within the Court of Protection (COP) team in Birmingham. The COP team become involved when, in certain circumstances, family members and loved ones may no longer have the mental capacity required to make important decisions regarding their finances. The Court of Protection is the judicial body responsible for making decisions relating to the management of finances and other affairs of those individuals who lack the mental capacity to do so themselves. I assist with matters such as appointing a deputy, acting as a deputy, Statutory Wills and Personal Injury Trusts.

Testimonials
Probably the best decision I have ever made, was to contact Irwin Mitchell. I am so grateful to have had the support and sheer brilliance of their legal team, to guide me and my family throughout the last 10 years. Often people focus on the winning of a case, however, I cannot emphasise the importance of their guidance, post award. The court of protection team at Irwin Mitchell have been a lifeline and continue to be so. I could not have survived without their knowledge, understanding, care and determination to get the job done. I cannot recommend them highly enough. - 5* TrustPilot Review
