My practice has always been litigation focused across crime and family law. I enjoyed 10 years as a Court Clerk before joining the serious crime department of one of the UK’s leading firms for another 7 years as a Solicitor. I was also involved in associated family law matters for clients of the practice.I migrated to Brisbane in 2003, becoming a Crown Prosecutor with the Office of Director of Public Prosecutions. I came to the Bar in 2012 and have continued to develop a strong crime and family practice. Having been involved in both prosecution and defence cases, I am always meticulously prepared and provide practical and pragmatic advice.I have been involved in the full range of criminal cases including murder, rape and other serious sexual offences, child abduction, gang related firearms, blackmail, drugs importations and complex fraud. I accept instructions on all areas of family law. My practice includes representation and advice in parenting, relocation matters and all financial disputes. I have been involved in complex property disputes in both de facto and marital relationship disputes. I regularly act in protracted contact and residence disputes, many with allegations of physical or sexual abuse, and many involving the instruction of expert witnesses. 
A strong advocate, I appear in the Magistrates Court, District Court, Supreme Court, Federal Circuit Court and the Family Court. I represent clients in a variety of hearings ranging from urgent contested applications to trials. With a focus on resolution, I also appear at case assessment conferences, conciliation conferences and mediations.
