EXPERIENCE

Alison has been a qualified solicitor for over 24 years.

She has always been an advocate for victims of domestic abuse and became a Trustee of a specialist Domestic abuse charity a couple of years ago.  

Alison has given talks to charities on this subject as well as on how employers can play their part in supporting victims and survivors.

“I was fortunate enough to find Alison at a time when I was in much need of help.  Her support and guidance were exactly what I needed, and her knowledge helped me navigate through some very stressful times.  Alison is such a caring person that I knew I always had her on my side.  Just absolutely brilliant.”

Client

“I had the pleasure of dealing with Alison over a particularly challenging case.  Her knowledge, professionalism, friendliness and expertise were helpful to me, and she explained everything in great detail.  I believe she went above and beyond the retainer she had with me as her client, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.”
