We asked Abigail:
They can expect honesty, dedication and commitment. I apply a realistic and pragmatic approach to all cases and I am not afraid to fight on my client’s behalf.
That I can genuinely make a difference in someone’s life. I also like that I often need to think ‘outside the box’ to get the best outcome for my client.
No two cases are the same and I am constantly learning. I also enjoy helping vulnerable people who may not otherwise have a voice in the family justice system.
I have a young family and an overactive Lakeland Terrier that keep me busy outside of work hours. As a Southerner living ‘up North’ I enjoy exploring Yorkshire with my family at weekends.
