As Barrister with over 40 years Legal experience, in South East Queensland, I have dealt with the most complex, through to the most simple of cases. Suffice to say, no two cases have ever been quite the same.Beginning my career back in 1975, I have a broad range of experience including Mediation, Commercial Disputes, Family Law, Probate and Estate Disputes and Traffic Prosecutions. It's what I have lived and breathed for many years, and I have a passion for working with clients and getting the best possible outcome. According to the grapevine, something about my calm manner and the approach I use, makes clients feel at ease, and assists in making often difficult situations much easier. In 1992, with over 20 years experience in law, I opted out of a 4 year Partnership at Robbins Dickie Watson, to focus on building my own business, as a sole practitioner. Much of a lawyers works involves negotiation of satisfactory outcomes for clients in conflict. During my time developing my business as a sole practitioner, I developed a strong interest in the specialist areas of Mediation. The goal of mediation is neither victory nor defeat, but compromise by the parties, reaching an understanding of the issues in dispute and letting go of the need to be 'right.'I was called to practise as a Barrister-at-Law of the Supreme Court of Queensland and of the High Court of Australia in 2008, commencing my practice at the private Bar. Since being admitted to the Queensland Private Bar, I now specialise in Family Law and Commercial Mediation. I've developed strong relationships with small legal firms in South East Queensland who are looking for a Mediator on behalf of their clients.
