Inquests can be difficult experiences for families with distressing evidence regarding loved ones often being heard. It’s my role to ensure they feel supported and their concerns and questions are raised.

Career Highlights
I recently assisted a family in successfully being awarded compensation from Greater Manchester Police after officers raided the wrong home.
A mother, her son who was in remission from cancer and her daughter who has learning disabilities were marched out. We claimed the force had committed offences of trespass and damage and also made claims for physical injury, emotional distress, embarrassment, and breaches of human rights.
In another recent case, my client, a father was arrested and handcuffed while on his way to collect his children from school.
I have also assisted at the Inquest of the victims of serial killer Stephen Port, this also included obtaining Legal Aid funding for families to ensure they could be properly represented.
Giving More
As a law student I volunteered at Citizens Advice, giving free support to members of the public on a range of legal issues.
Most recently I completed a fun run for the Special Stars Foundation, a charity that supports people with disabilities and their families across Hull and East Yorkshire.
