Solicitor & Director

Stephanie is a Solicitor who has specialised in family law throughout her legal career. Since qualification in 1998 (excepting a 3 year period in a teaching role), Stephanie has worked in all disciplines of divorce and children work. However, in recent years has specialised in children law, including private law and public law (i.e. care proceedings) and domestic violence.

Stephanie is an accredited member of the Law Society Children Panel and she has supported this focus with four separate Resolution specialist accreditations. She regularly acts for parents in care proceedings including those with lengthy finding of fact hearings and those where client and/or parties are represented through the Official Solicitor.

Stephanie acts in forced marriage and honour based violence cases and has handled several child abduction cases. She has also been involved in cases in the High Court, both in the local District Registry and in the Principal Registry of the Family Division in London.
