About Me

Born in 1950, I embarked on my legal journey and was admitted as a Solicitor in 1975. With extensive experience across various legal disciplines in prominent locations like Birmingham, St Albans, and Leighton Buzzard, I established my practice in the town in 1985. While I retired from traditional legal practice in 2017, my commitment to serving the community endures. Becoming a Notary Public in 1988 further enriched my ability to offer professional assistance with international and cross-border legal needs.
