Enjoys a solid reputation for her adept handling of fraudulent and exaggerated personal injury claims. Her advocacy consistently achieves findings of fundamental dishonesty and awarding of costs against both claimants and solicitors.
"She is very passionate, approachable and thorough, and works to create excellent relationships with solicitors and lay clients. Key is her willingness to understand clients' objectives, and she goes above and beyond to achieve outstanding results." "Her pleadings are impressive."
