I am an Associate Solicitor in the Wills, Trusts and Probate Department here at Everett Tomlin Lloyd & Pratt. I specialise in drafting Wills, administering Trusts and Estates, inheritance tax planning and Court of Protection work including completion and registration of Lasting Powers of Attorney, registration of Enduring Powers of Attorney and applications to appoint financial Deputies.
My clients are at the heart of everything I do. Quite often my clients are going through a very hard time dealing with the loss of a loved one, or they are going through a time in their lives where they are becoming more forgetful and they want to ensure that everything is in place. These can be some of the most stressful and challenging times and by putting clients at the centre of all my work I am able to provide both legal knowledge and expertise but also the chance for them to talk about these situations with which they are faced.
I studied Law at the University of West of England, Bristol in 2013 before completing the Legal Practice Course at Cardiff University the following year. I joined this firm in 2021, having qualified as a solicitor at a local regional firm in 2018.
I specialise in dispute resolution and advise on all aspects of litigation. My experience in litigation includes dealing with contractual disputes, contested probate disputes, defamation claims, professional negligence claims, boundary disputes, debt recovery and commercial lease disputes. I advise both public and private sector clients.
In my spare time, I enjoy practising yoga and travelling with family and friends.

I joined ETLP during my third year of studying law at Swansea University as a work experience student. I re-joined the firm upon completion of my degree, LPC and Masters and subsequently completed my training contract, qualifying as a Solicitor in October 2022.
During my time at ETLP I have been based in the family department and have gained experience in all aspects of family law with a particular interest in private law children and child care matters.
I studied Law and Politics at Cardiff University from 2010 to 2013; and then completed the Legal Practice Course in 2014. I completed my Training Contract at a regional law firm in Newport, and qualified as a Solicitor in 2016.
Since qualification, I have specialised in Criminal Law – I am a qualified Duty Solicitor and member of the Law Society’s Criminal Litigation Accreditation, which is a recognised quality standard for practitioners in Criminal Law.
I attend at local Police Stations, Magistrates’ Courts and Crown Courts in the South Wales area on a regular basis to represent clients to the best of my ability. I deal with all types of Criminal cases, from serious sexual offences and fraud, to road traffic matters. I have a particular interest in representing young persons in the Youth Court, as well as vulnerable persons who may have additional needs/difficulties. I will always ensure that my clients receive friendly and compassionate advice, even in the most difficult circumstances.
I joined ETLP in 2022 and am an Associate Solicitor here at the firm. I hope to progress my career here in the years to come.
I graduated from Swansea University with a Law degree in 2016 and went on to complete my Legal Practice Course in 2017. I completed my training contract in a local firm and qualified as a solicitor in December 2021. I joined ETLP in 2024 and am working as a Solicitor in the Criminal Law Department.
I qualified as an Accredited Police Station Representative in 2019 and am currently undertaking my Magistrates Court Duty Solicitor Qualification.
Since joining the criminal team, I have gained experience as a police station representative, representing clients whilst in custody and at voluntary interviews. I am also gaining experience advocating in the Magistrates Courts.
I understand that going through criminal proceedings can be an extremely daunting and worrying time for clients and pride myself on carrying out my work in a conscientious and efficient manner as well as providing an empathetic and approachable service to ensure clients are supported and informed throughout their matter.
I joined ETLP in 2023 as a trainee solicitor in the Criminal Law Department having completed my Law degree and LPC in the University of South Wales and subsequently qualified in 2025.
I predominantly deal with criminal matters within the Crown Court and work closely with Senior Solicitors and Barristers ensuring the cases are ready to be heard in Court. I assist in all types of Criminal cases from minor thefts, and assaults to serious sex offences and drug related matters.
I am the main point of contact within the Crown Court and meet with clients and stay with them throughout the process. I am aware of how difficult and daunting the attendance at Crown Court can be and ensure I fully explain the process and answer any questions the client may have.
I am extremely passionate about Criminal Law and ensuring clients receive an excellent service and are kept updated throughout. I have many years’ experience of working in a customer facing environment and providing care and support to members of the public in various circumstances. I have a passion for serving clients and providing support for people in vulnerable circumstances and ensuring they have a right to a fair trial.

Since my qualification in 2018, I have specialised in all aspects of family law and matters arising from relationship breakdown. I can advise clients in relation to divorce and associated financial matters, pre-nuptial, cohabitation and separation agreements and cohabitation breakdown. I advise parents and their wider families on matters relating to children, to include where they live after a relationship has come to an end and ongoing contact arrangements. I also advise on protective orders in cases involving domestic abuse and violence to include non-molestation and occupation orders.
I am committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive legal services to families navigating complex family law issues, with a commitment to client care and providing personalised support during challenging times. I ensure open communication, realistic advice, and empathy, helping clients understand their rights and options at every step of the process. Where matters concern children, I take a child focussed approach, assisting clients in achieving a positive outcome for their family.
