24.01.2022 I never imagined that I would run a trial from my office due to COVID. It was a success but I’m hoping to return to the court room next year !

23.01.2022 The trials and tribulations of a criminal Barrister! In my first few years as a barrister, I realised that representing those charged with a criminal offence meant that I was more than just a mouthpiece for my clients case. I needed to be a psychiatrist, a counsellor, a social worker, a mother, and many other things besides, none of which had appeared on the pages of my law books.

17.01.2022 Family law matters are never straight forward in todays modern society.
