About Me
I live locally to King’s Lynn and am married with one daughter.
I enjoy spending time with friends and family and I also enjoy fitness. I play netball for two local teams.
I am a Governor of a local nursery school and Head of the Parent Teacher Association. I have previously been a Trustee of counselling charity Relate.
My Work History & Experience
I joined Ward Gethin Archer in September 2009 as a trainee solicitor and qualifed in September 2011.
Having attended the University of Leicester and also Demontfort University, I moved to the Leicester area in June 2012. I went on to work for a law firm in Derby for two years.
I rejoined Ward Gethin Archer in October 2014 and was made a Director of the firm in April 2017.
I have specialised in family law since 2010.
In 2019 I became a family mediator and am a member of the College of Mediators.
My Time at Ward Gethin Archer
As a Director in the Family Department, I am responsible for the family team in King’s Lynn, Chatteris, Heacham and Downham Market. I am also responsible for the firm’s marketing.
In my role as a Family Solicitor, I can help with all aspects of family law including divorce, civil partnership dissolution and the financial issues that follow a relationship breakdown. I specialise in issues regarding children such as child contact arrangements and residence disputes. I also advise on the preparation of cohabitation agreements, separation agreements, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements and change of name deeds.
I provide mediation for all family matters, including divorce, separation, finances and children issues.
I love that we are a local firm with offices in market towns. Ward Gethin Archer are very involved in the local communities and attend many events from careers fairs to summer carnivals. It is great getting out and about and meeting local people throughout the year.
I have also set up East Anglian Women in Business (EAWIB), sponsored by Ward Gethin Archer, which is a free monthly networking group with meetings held at several locations in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. EAWIB provides a platform for local business women to meet and share their knowledge and expertise.
What I Can Do For You
I love what I do and I love being able to help people through what is often a difficult period in their lives.
As a member of Resolution, I follow their principles of working in a family focused way in recognition of the fact that parties will often benefit from having an amenable relationship with each other going forward after separation, often for the benefit of the children.
I try to work in the most cost-effective way possible for clients and offer a variety of different options to suit each client’s budget.
I help all sorts of people from different walks of life in a varied range of situations and always strive to achieve a positive end result wherever possible.
