What Inspired You To Get Into Law?
I really enjoy meeting people and the idea of helping others through difficult times has always been very rewarding to me.
What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?
Ensuring that my clients feel that their case has been heard properly and presented appropriately. Feeling as though people have a simple explanation of the rights and responsibilities they have during the breakdown of their marriage or relationship.
What Do You Like About Working At Irwin Mitchell?
The expanse of knowledge throughout the firm, all of which is on hand to assist when required. The building itself, the client meeting areas and facilities for clients. The restaurant is lovely as are the staff and the environment is an overall bonus.
What Do You Do Away From The Office?
I spend a lot of my time with my three children on a small holding where we live. I love practicing yoga and meditation too.
