About Mae
I approach all cases with a view to achieving the best possible outcome for the client. I understand that the family court process can be daunting, overwhelming and that clients are often going through a very difficult period in their life. I therefore work hard to ensure that clients are kept fully informed and that they understand what is happening, every step of the way.
