Kate takes a client focused, straightforward and common-sense approach to the cases she deals with. Survivors of abuse can often find the legal process confusing and overwhelming. Kate’s approach is, therefore, to make the process as clear and transparent as possible and build a relationship that allows clients to feel as though they can ask any questions at any stage of the process.
Kate has worked across a number of child abuse claims, gaining valuable experience. Some of this work includes:
“My life has changed so much for the better now and Kate’s results and hard work have given me opportunities that I never thought would be possible for me in my life”
CLIENT
“Kate’s been at the end of the phone or email to reassure me the whole way dealing with my tears and frustrations. She’s been kind caring and very understanding.”
CLIENT
A man has admitted drugging and raping his wife without her knowledge over a period of 20 years, with 60 offences admitted. The case raises serious concerns around drug-facilitated sexual abuse and the legal options available to survivors, including civil claims and compensation.
