Having grown up in Dorchester, my legal career began at Dorset County Council in 1998. After spending some time traveling in India I moved to London to study for my law degree at Queen Mary, University of London. On graduating I spent a year working as a paralegal before moving back to Dorchester and taking a position at Battens. Whilst at Battens I completed my qualification as a solicitor, traveling at weekends to the College of Law Guildford where I obtained my Legal Practice Diploma. I went back to London in 2007 and worked firstly for a national law firm and then a regional practice. I returned to Dorchester in 2009 to have a family and I continue to live there with my husband and two young children. As a solicitor, my job is to guide you through what can be a daunting or difficult process and make it simple. It may be that you have never made a will before and are not sure where to start.
