Michelle has always maintained a mixed practice of Immigration, Criminal Defence and Inland Waterways Law. At twelve years call this gives her a wealth of experience. In each area she fights rigorously for her clients. She believes that they have the right to be treated with dignity. Many are vulnerable, and most are stressed about their predicament and need to know someone is on their side. In short, Michelle is tough in the court room but gentle and friendly out of it.

In crime, Michelle has defended the full spectrum of crimes including murders. She is highly proficient at cross-examination of Police and Expert witnesses, and particularly enjoys identification cases.  However, she is probably best known for her legal acumen, especially her expertise in ‘Abuse of Process’ cases. Michelle will always look for the half-time submission point if possible. She understands that the trial process is an ordeal for the Defendant and endeavours to make the process as painless as possible.

In Immigration, Michelle’s practice encompasses Court of Appeal, Judicial Review (including Emergency applications); Asylum; Human rights; Humanitarian Protection; Entry Clearance; Points based; basically all Appellant work. Michelle recognizes the importance that these cases have on people’s lives and treats them accordingly.

Michelle lived aboard an Inland waterways Boat for 17 years and knows that it is difficult to get representation in this area as it embodies many legal areas. For this reason, Michelle developed a niche practice that covers this multitude of disciplines.

Michelle is Direct Access qualified, and currently lives in the Milton Keynes area so, as well as London, she is content to attend court further afield.
