About us

I have been qualified as a solicitor for over 30 years having worked in private practice and in industry. After running my firm from home in this location from 1987 to 1997 we moved to Northern Ireland where I trained and volunteered with the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) and subsequently worked as a solicitor doing conveyancing, appearing before the magistrates in civil and criminal cases and dealing with divorce, domestic violence work and contact hearings.
We then moved to the US for 4 years where I worked for a firm which dealt with large class actions involving imaging and search technology. On our return to the Slade in June 2006 I attended a refresher course and then spent two years with a reputable firm in West Berkshire gaining valuable experience in family law, civil litigation, commercial leases and domestic conveyancing.

I reopened my business working from home in December 2008 and would like to welcome back any old clients and new ones both individuals and businesses.

My Services Include:

Family law : divorce, separation, cohabitation disputes, civil partnerships and pre-nuptial agreements. I am a member of Resolution
Residential and commercial conveyancing. I have been approved as a member of the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme
Wills & probate

Fees
Fees are an important issue for many people and working from home and initially not being subject to VAT, I can offer competitive rates. Please feel free to contact me for my fixed rates for conveyancing, wills and leases and for my hourly rates for divorce and civil litigation.
It often helps to see clients at an initial interview to get a feel for all the issues involved. However, this is not always possible due to clients commitments or because they live long distances away. I can deal with clients by telephone or email if necessary, subject to the money laundering regulations.
