"Since Joining the Practice as an Immigration Advisor I have since progressed to specialising in representing Life Sentence prisoners. I am currently the Deputy Supervisor of the Prison Law Department and as such also advocate at Parole Board reviews.

Since joining the Prison Law department I have represented life sentence prisoners on many issues including Parole, Progression through the Lifer estate, Psychological issues and general prison matters. Both my colleague Amelia and myself have, with the introduction of the Crime Sentences Act 2003, increased our specialist work to include representation of Public Protection prisoners.

I have represented clients in all four categories of the prison estate, from maximum security through to eventual release. I find the practical side of representing life sentence prisoners very fulfilling and I have come to find that there are indeed everyday persons behind the clients I represent.

The team and myself are extremely committed to provide professional yet approachable advice on all issues of a life sentence."
