About

In 2023 I celebrated two momentous occasions in my legal journey, 25 years admission as a lawyer and 20 years as an Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law. There are over 33,000 lawyers in NSW and only 430 have attained this prestigious specialisation.

Specialist Accreditation is a structured peer to peer assessment process enabling legal practitioners to be recognised for their expertise. To be accredited, specialists must pass a series of meticulous assessments on both legal knowledge and its application in practice. To retain the accreditation we must undertake significant additional professional development in our area of expertise each year, with my area being personal injury law.

Throughout my career, I have enjoyed ensuring my clients rights are protected and seeking justice on their behalf. My deep understanding of personal injury law and medical matters, enables me to provide my clients with tailored strategies and coupled with my extensive experience allows me to navigate complex legal and medical related matters with precision and compassion.

I love my work, I love being able to assist people and bring them a little calmness, security and hope in their lives, especially at a time when life has turned upside down for them.

I was admitted as a Lawyer in 1998. Having worked for a number of the large Sydney law firms, including union based law firms, you can rest assured that you will be advised and represented by someone with experience: Sydney Expertise with Country Service. I do not practice in any other area of law, my area of expertise is personal injury law, that’s my specialty and I will legally advise, support and guide you through to the conclusion of your case.

Servicing Regional NSW

My focus is on helping people in need in Regional NSW. I understand that regionally it is so much harder to have access to a network of support. You may have to travel long distances to undergo basic treatment such as X-Rays, MRI and CT Scan or travel hours to obtain medical treatment from professionals and some won’t even take on new patients as their “books are closed”.

Supporting Regional NSW

I am committed to assisting the injured in Regional NSW.

My network of regional contacts may assist you in the provision of services, whether that be healthcare providers, from GP’s to psychologists, through to specialised assistance and treatment that you can only receive outside of the region.

Focused Until the Job is Done

You deal with me, all of the time.

You will not be dealing with a secretary or a paralegal or another lawyer.

I will ensure that your legal matter is handled with the utmost attention and care. I will exhaust every avenue and explore various strategies to secure the best possible results for you. My commitment to staying focused on you and your case, ensures that your interests are protected and that you receive the highest level of legal representation.

From your initial enquiry, through to the successful conclusion of your matter, you will speak, email, text and see me, your lawyer, your NSW Law Society Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law.

Supporting Families in Need with Family Values

I understand that this is a challenging time and probably the worst time that you and your family have ever had to go through:

  • Being unable to work.
  • Suffering an injury and the associated physical pain and mental anguish.
  • Suffering the emotional burden of no longer being able to do what came to you so easily.
  • Experiencing financial hardship as you are no longer able to earn an income.
  • Having these changes affect your family on all levels and not knowing how to get through it all.

My job is to assist you navigate through these changes, to assist you with legal advice, to help you obtain medical, emotional and financial support and to get you and your family through to the other side: a new normal, filled with hope.
