Court of Protection; Mental Health

Partner and Solicitor

I am a Partner and Head of both Mental Health and Court of Protection at David Gray.

In relation to those detained under the Mental Health Act, I can attend all necessary care programme approaches (CPAs) or review hearings and progress your case in the best way possible.

I am able to advise both detained persons and ‘nearest relatives’ as to their rights under the Mental Health Act.  Should you be unhappy with your ‘nearest relative’ then I can advise on the options for changing/removing them.

I am also an Accredited Mental Health Tribunal Member and regularly represent clients detained under the Mental Health Act at tribunals to request their discharge from detention or to assist them with other legal issues

I studied law at Sheffield Hallam University. I went on to study for my Legal Practice Course (LPC) at BBP Law School in Leeds where I graduated in 2006.
