Tell us about yourself

I joined John Hodge Solicitors in 2019. I have completed my Level 3 CILEx qualification and I am currently continuing my studies to complete my Level 6 CILEx qualification to become a Chartered Legal Executive.

What is your specialist area of law?

My area of specialism is Residential Property Conveyancing. I deal with a number of matters including Residential Sales, Assents, and First Registrations at HM Land Registry.

What do you offer clients of John Hodge Solicitors?

I am able to understand my client’s needs. I work with clients and communicate with them in a way which is clear and concise for them. I ensure that I am always available to speak to clients during what can be a very stressful period.

What do you think makes a good lawyer?

To be able to listen to your client’s needs and to communicate with them in a way that they understand, to ensure they have a clear understanding of the process involved in their matter.

What do you most enjoy about your role?

I enjoy the different challenges my role brings. No two matters in Conveyancing are the same and it is greatly satisfying when a client’s matter completes.

A Message for clients:

I grew up locally and have a good local knowledge. Your home will possibly be the biggest asset you ever have, so it is very important to ensure you place your trust in someone who wants to provide you with the best service, and with many online firms offering low-cost conveyancing services, I can offer a service to tailor your needs. I place a high importance on client care and aim to ensure that I am available at all times during what can be one of the most stressful times of your life.

Is there anything else you would like to say?

In my spare time I volunteer in the local Rugby Club and am involved in coaching of the under 5s team. I have a keen interest in horse riding and enjoy spending time with my two children.
