family lawyer

Care of children
Protection orders
Relationship property
Estate disputes

I practise in all areas of family law including relationship property; trusts; care of children; family violence and protection of personal and property rights. I also advise clients on estate claims.

Having been admitted to the bar in 1994, I have experience in a wide range of litigation including civil and commercial; resource management and ACC. In August 2015 I formed the Devonport Law partnership and in April 2020 I joined the independent bar. I combine my experience and expertise, built over years of legal practice, with compassion and understanding, focusing on practical solutions that meet the objectives of my clients.

MY APPROACH

    This is always the first step. I listen with empathy and understanding.

  • respond

    I focus on my clients’ objectives with a practical approach combined with sound legal analysis and robust advocacy.

  • Resolve

    I strive for a beneficial outcome through litigation or a settlement process.
