After this, my fees are fixed so that you know exactly what you are spending and what you getting back in return. I have no hidden fees and this upfront approach is one less issue for you to worry about.
I pride myself on my attention to detail and high client care, which allows me to grasp cases quickly and empathise with those I work so hard to represent.
My work
Small claims proceedings can involve a huge range of issues and so the best option really is to get in touch and then, with my free 30-minuter consultation, we can discuss the best way that I can assist you.
About me
I completed my training (known as pupillage) back in 2010 when I practiced exclusively in crime. Throughout the first few years of my career I was regularly instructed in cases ranging from the Youth Court to the Crown Court. Whilst I predominantly defended, I occasionally prosecuted for the Department for Work and Pensions, The London Probation Service and The Crown Prosecution Service. Since then my work has diversified into the areas of civil disputes, personal injury and most recently family law. I receive instructions from local authorities, businesses and individuals. After several years of practicing, my workload is now a mix of attending court and papers-based work from chambers, which would often involve advising clients on evidence and prospects of success.
