A: October 2003
A: I’m a Child Care Law Solicitor Advocate and joint head of the Child Care department. As a Director of the firm I also act as joint head of the Bradford Office, Director with oversight for York Office and Director with oversight for LEXCEL (the Law Society quality mark for law firms).
A: Helping families in very difficult circumstances. The variety of the work; no 2 cases are the same. Each family is different and has to be approached in different ways. Practicing in Child Care Law requires me to have a knowledge of medical issues, mental health problems, an understanding of the impact of life events upon the clients or their families.
A: A compassionate but realistic approach. Clear and consistent advice throughout. Where possible I undertake my own advocacy so I would hope they should only be dealing with me at substantive hearings, as well as in the office.
A: I am approachable, easy to understand – where possible I avoid using jargon. I give clear and consistent advice, with cases run in line with client instructions.
A: I wanted to be a doctor.
A: Becoming a mother, closely followed by passing the legal practice course.
A: To continue to offer a high level of service to some of the most vulnerable people in society.
A: Swimming, walking, and spending time with my family.
