Why did you choose to specialise in Wills, Trust & Probate?
I enjoy spending time with clients, getting to know their needs and advising them accordingly. Most importantly I build an invaluable personal relationship with clients and their families enabling me to advise them appropriately.
What has been the highlight of your career so far?
Assisting a client in proving that a Will was a forged document.
What do you feel most passionate about within your working life?
Gaining the trust of my clients by providing them with practical, legal advice in everyday language.
What do you feel most passionate about within your home life?
Having fun, having good friends and family and being a good friend in return.
If you won the lottery tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?
I'd like to think I'd spend it wisely but that's never going to happen! I'd buy a boat and sail around the world drinking pink champagne... Oh, but first I'd pay for sailing lessons!
