Areas of specialities: Criminal Law.
I studied Law and Psychology at Sheffield Hallam University and graduated in 2013 with a 1st Class BSc (Hons). I completed my LPC and Masters at the University of Law in Leeds, obtaining a Distinction (LL.M) whilst working at a local firm.
I have worked within the profession since 2013 and qualified as a Solicitor and Higher Court Advocate in 2019, joining Watson Woodhouse in 2020. I am a Duty Solicitor with specific expertise in representing clients in the Crown Courts.
Since working in the profession, I have gained experience in dealing with a wide range of Criminal Law matters, with all manner of cases and offences. I represent criminal clients in the Police Station, Magistrates and Crown Court.
Client care is very important to me. My experience has taught me that clients often need a solicitor during the most difficult times of their lives. So, I strive to be approachable and make myself available to clients. I always aim to secure the best possible outcomes for my clients.
