Drawing on a broad background in legal practise, Melanie prides herself on helping clients to find far reaching legal solutions with a high level of care and empathy.

While Melanie specialises in all areas of private client work – particularly Wills, Powers of Attorney, Estate Administration, Probate and Trusts – she also has experience of other legal disciplines. Time working in residential property and contentious probate matters has given her a deeper understanding of considerations clients need when planning for the future.

This, combined with her commitment to the best client care, helps her to work alongside clients to find what matters most to them and how best it can be safeguarded for the future.

Melanie has particular experience in the area of Missing Persons law. In this, she has worked to support clients in making applications to Court to manage a missing person’s finances until they are found. Where that is not the case, she has supported applications for Declaration of Presumed Death. In all of this, Melanie combines a sensitive approach with deep legal expertise to support families at what is regularly a highly emotional and challenging period.
