I am a Solicitor in our Birmingham office who specialises in all aspects of Children Law proceedings and domestic abuse. Due to developments in technology since covid-19, I assist clients all over the United Kingdom.
I can assist clients who have Domestic Abuse as a live element within a private dispute with another parent/care giver and can help them with obtaining S8 Children Act Orders (child arrangement orders, specific issues Orders, prohibited steps orders). I have experience dealing with CAFCASS, Rule 16.4 Guardians, Section 37 Orders, S7 Reports, Enforcement of Orders and the Variation of Orders. I can also assist clients with obtaining legal aid for such matters.
I can assist victims of domestic abuse with obtaining Non-Molestation Orders, Occupation Orders, Female Genital Mutilation Orders and assist them with obtaining Legal Aid for Domestic Abuse.
I can assist those involved in care proceedings and where Domestic Abuse is a live issue. Over the years, I have represented parents and grandparents in applications where non-compliance with social services has led to children being removed from the care of a parent or a care giver. This is often due to concerns of emotional, psychological and physical harm that a child may suffer from either the child themselves, or a parent/ care giver. I deal with the Social services, section 47 enquires, child protection conferences, PLO meetings, s20 agreements, police protection orders, parental responsibility, CAFCASS, EPO, ICO, s37 Reports, care plans, contact with child in care, Family Group Conference, experts, discharging care orders, adoption and placement orders, secure accommodation orders. I assist clients with obtaining legal aid for such matters.
I specialise in all types of cases especially those with elements of niche specialism and complexity to include:
- Female Genital Mutualisation
- Sexual exploitation
- Deprivation of Liberty Orders
- Secure Accommodation Orders
- Non- accidental injury
